Myofascial facial massage as a possible method of correction of psychoemotional states

Abstract

The work highlights the current problems of the relationship between the tonic activity of facial muscles and psychoemotional states. The frequency and severity of psychoemotional conditions and indicators of tonic activity of the facial muscles in 67 healthy women were studied. The currently known methods for the correction of psycho-emotional states based on the feedback mechanism are analyzed. The effectiveness of use of myofascial face massage as an instrument for the correction of psychological status was assessed. The influence of various massage techniques aimed at relaxing facial muscles on the psychoemotional state in the long term has been proved. The most effective tools for correcting muscle tone for the correction of psychoemotional states are proposed.
