How physiotherapy may help
After medical assessment, selected rehabilitation may include education, gentle facial movement practice and strategies to avoid excessive effort or unwanted linked movements. Eye closure problems need medical advice and eye protection.
Common rehabilitation goals
- Follow the treating doctor’s diagnosis and medication advice
- Protect the eye when closure is incomplete
- Use gentle, controlled facial practice when prescribed
- Monitor recovery and avoid forceful repetitive exercises
