Improve Facial Palsy

A companion in your facial palsy recovery journey

Express yourself with confidence. ImproveFP is designed for people experiencing facial palsy due to Bell’s Palsy or Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, affecting one side of the face. The app provides guided exercises, education and progress tracking to support recovery alongside your clinical care.

Why ImproveFP is different

• Expert-designed rehabilitation: Content is created in collaboration with experienced facial therapists, physiotherapists, and plastic surgeons. The team behind the app brings together decades of clinical expertise to support people with facial paralysis.
• Tailored to you: Programs are personalised based on your diagnosis and stage, whether you're newly affected or in chronic recovery.
• Holistic support: ImproveFP doesn’t only focus on physical rehabilitation. It provides educational resources to help you understand facial anatomy, nerve function, and muscle tone, empowering you to take control of your own journey.

What the app offers

• Guided practice: Relaxation, stretching, massage, and voluntary facial movement exercises to help reduce tightness, improve symmetry and gradually restore muscle control.
• Progress tracking & assessments: Regular check-ins, including symptom tracking and facial assessments, to monitor changes over time and visualise improvements.
• Educational resources: Articles, videos and expert guidance to help you understand facial muscle tone, nerve injury, and best practices for rehabilitation and self-care.
• Support for mental well-being: Acknowledging that facial palsy affects more than muscles, recovery often involves coping with changes in appearance, confidence and identity.

Through structured rehabilitation and educational support, the app aims to foster a sense of control, hope and resilience.

Who can benefit

• People diagnosed with Bell’s palsy or Ramsay Hunt Syndrome.
• Individuals experiencing muscle weakness, asymmetry, stiffness or discomfort in the face.
• Those seeking to complement medical or physiotherapy treatment with a home-based rehabilitation tool.
• Anyone who wants to track recovery progress over time in a structured, supportive way.

Important considerations

ImproveFP is not a medical device. It’s intended as a supportive tool to complement your care and can be used to share information with your healthcare professionals. Consistent practice, patience and realistic expectations are key, facial nerve recovery is often gradual, but tracking symptoms over weeks and months can help you observe meaningful changes.
