Cold weather can be challenging for people with facial palsy.![]()

Stiffness, aches, and joint pain are frequent complaints during cold weather. Muscles react to the cold by tightening up and is especially noticed by patients experiencing synkinesis. ![]()

Keeping the face and neck covered when you go outside into cold and/or windy conditions will help prevent this tightening by blocking the wind and cold. In addition, your breath helps to keep it warm.
Having difficulty with your smile reaching your eyes on both sides? Your muscle behind your ear on your facial palsy side might be the culprit! ![]()
