The purpose of the study was to investigate current problems of the relationship between tonic activity of the facial muscles and psycho-emotional states. The study included a group of 151 women subjected to psychological testing. According to its results, they were randomized into five study groups depending on sex and age. The frequency and severity of psycho-emotional states and parameters of tonic activity of the facial muscles were studied. Currently accepted methods for the correction of psycho-emotional states based on the feedback mechanism were analyzed. The efficacy of myofascial facial massage as an instrument for psychological status correction was evaluated. The long-term effects of various massage techniques aimed at facial muscle relaxation on the psycho-emotional state were established. The most effective tools for muscle tone correction were proposed for psycho-emotional status correction.
