I have been using the ‘Facial-Flex’ product for almost a year and have noticed improvement in my facial muscles as a result.  I do not know if everyone with Moebius would find the ‘Facial Flex’ helpful.  I only have Moebius on the right side of my face, so it may be easier for me to use the product than it may be for others affected on both sides of their faces.
     I have also told my speech therapist about the ‘Facial-Flex,’ since she works with Children’s Hospital she cannot tell patients about the product until clinical studies have been done.  My speech therapist is in the process of having a study where muscle strength is measured after use of the ‘Facial-Flex.’
I will let you know if she is able to do such a test, and what the results are.
     According to the literature on the product it was ‘originally designed and used for treatment of patients with severe facial burns.  It is now used extensively as a dynamic resistance device for strengthening the oral-motor and neck musculature.’  For more information dial 1-800-469-8565.
