PD Quick Tip - Facial Masking

Facial masking is when you have a blank expression, you aren't able to convey emotions with facial expression. Masking is common with Parkinson's. Medication helped a ton but I still feel my expression shows anger or sadness when I'm calm and happy. Exercise is important, and the facial muscles are no exception. It's very important to exersize your facial muscles. Try exaggerated gestures and say the vowels. AAAAAAAA EEEEEEE I OOOOOOO UUUUUUUUUUUU. And sometimes "Y". Remember to smile BIG!
