This will be followed by breathing and relaxation exercises to reduce muscular tension. Stretching exercises will then be performed on the affected side, including sustained pressure on trigger points in the forehead, eyes, nostrils, lips, and neck for approximately two minutes. Facial movement exercises such as eyebrow raising, eye closure, frowning, snarling, smiling, and pouting will be practiced, with each movement repeated 15 times and held for 5 to 10 seconds to encourage neuromuscular re-education.
