Facial Therapist in the South
« on: October 30, 2008, 06:42:59 pm »
Does anyone know of a good facial therapist in the southeast?  I'm in Georgia.
Translab 4/10/2008; 1.3 cm; total facial paralysis left side.

I know of one in Nashville, but that's probably a little further than you want to drive!

If you look on the Bell's palsy website (which I know is listed on a thread around here somewhere) there should be a list of facial therapists on there.  Hopefully there will be one closer to you.

When I decide to go back to work as a PT in a few years, I think I might look into becoming trained, since there's obviously a need for more therapists out there.
