About us
At Crystal Touch we developed our own Neuro-Proprioceptive Rehabilitation method for recovery after peripheral facial palsies: Bell’s palsy, Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, post-traumatic, congenital facial palsy, and other.
Our method aims to reduce or eliminate:
- synkinesis,
- asymmetric or 'crooked' smile,
- facial pains, facial tension and contractures of facial muscles,
- excessive tears or dry eyes,
- other residuals and complications after a long-standing peripheral facial palsy.
The level of possible recovery depends on individual factors that can be established during the online diagnostic session.

Step 1. Online Diagnostic Session
The Online Diagnostic Session is a one-on-one video consultation with Bell’s palsy expert, Alex Pashov. The aim of this session is to analyze your condition and the recovery level of your facial nerve in detail. Based on the analysis, Alex Pashov will go in-depth through your questions, as well as let you know what are your future recovery prospects.
During the session, you will receive detailed answers and explanations to questions such as: “Will my synkinesis go away?”, “Can I recover after 1/5/20+ years after Bell’s palsy?”, “Is there anything I can do to make it better?”, “What can I do about my pains and tension?”, “What can I expect from your rehabilitation program?”, etc.
Step 2. Full Rehabilitation Program
Each rehabilitation program is composed individually for the recovery needs of each patient. We always begin our rehabilitation with an Online Diagnostic Session - the session allows us to analyze the details, possibilities and requirements for your recovery. It is also a good way for you to understand what level of recovery, realistically, you can expect from this program.
All rehabilitation programs are developed using our Neuro-Proprioceptive Rehabilitation Method. It is based on years of research and work with facial palsy patients from across the world. In its unique approach, we do not rely on facial exercises or any invasive methods (such as surgery or injections).

Inspiring recovery stories
A journey to recovery from Bell's palsy is a journey filled with emotions. It is a journey from despair and depression towards regaining hope, belief and self-appreciation.
We have gone through this journey with every single one of our patients. Starting with their fears during the first visit and ending with confident and beautiful returned smiles! For every patient, it is a journey that requires hard work every single day, from several months to sometimes, a couple of years. They are fighters, that fought hard to bring back their Smiles, and we have been there, with them, on this journey.
Some of our patients want to share their stories with other Bell's palsy sufferers. They wish that their stories will give you hope and inspire you to stay positive and believe that just like them, you can improve your situation.

Metamorphosis - a symbol of hope and transformation
A butterfly is a symbol of new hope and metamorphosis. Just like a caterpillar will turn into a beautiful butterfly, everyone can transform and change for the better. We use butterflies as reminders to maintain hope and believe in a positive change.
In our work and in our clinic you will find butterflies everywhere - in our books, in our rehabilitation materials and as gifts brought to us by our patients.
