We have been receiving many e-mails and conducting telehealth sessions with our patients, and one of the common threads is concern over having to use ZOOM or other types of platforms that we are all using for work and to stay in touch with family members. This is very devastating to many of our patients suffering with facial palsy. People all over the world are being forced to participate in conversations that places focus on someone’s face and facial expressions. Here are some suggestions for you to try. Please feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions.
1. Wear glasses- order a pair of clear lenses if you don’t usually wear glasses.
2. Change the part in your hair.
3. Change the color of your hair.
4. Suggest work calls be made more fun by wearing crazy hats.
5. Use make up to even out the height of your eyebrows or lips.
6. Wear colorful jewelry.
7. Wear a bright scarf.
8. When looking at the screen have your head slightly turned to the right or the left. (Play with this one by taking a picture of yourself and see if one side looks better than the other).
9. Facial hair for men is a good distraction
10. Perform massage and stretching techniques before you start your call.
11. Use moist heat before you start your call.
12. Try to give yourself a break time wise between calls to rest your face.
13. Practice relaxation breathing!!! Breathe in through your nose to a count of 4 Hold for a count of 7. Breathe out through your mouth to a count of 8.

The COVID-19 outbreak changes the factors we must consider in our professional evaluation, but it does not change our basic responsibility to do what is best for our patients.
We are writing to you with exciting news that will directly impact the way we can treat you until we re-open our doors. We are offering a free telehealth session which will allow us to see and speak with you through our HIPPA compliant telehealth platform. We have been using this platform since the opening of our clinic to serve our patients who are unable to be seen in the clinic due to distance.
We can use this telehealth tool in multiple ways to serve you. We can use it as a screening tool, for follow up appointments, wellness check-ins, exercise progression, and even to guide you with symptom management!
We believe this will bring an excellent option until we can see you in the clinic. You will receive the same impeccable quality of care but it will be from the comfort and convenience of your own home or office.
All that is needed on your part is to give the office a call and Luis can schedule you for a telehealth appointment.
Take care of yourselves and your families. We need each other.
Best wishes,
Jodi, Gincy, Carl and Luis
