Bell's Palsy / Facial Paralysis - Butheau Physiotherapy

The fear and doubt of Bell’s Palsy

Experiencing Bell’s palsy symptoms is an experience that can leave you with fear, questions, doubts, uncertainty, and for some, shame.

I am very familiar with the symptoms as I myself experienced BP, and have also helped hundreds recovering.

I have been privileged to experience BP as a physiotherapist, having the training to treat it and knowing immediately what it was. I recognized that I had not suffered a stroke but yet experience the anguish of facial paralysis, almost constant tearing for 2 days, which was for me the worst symptom.

But I knew how to treat it and started treatment on day one.

Resources for recovery

I was immediately dedicated to my recovery, obsessing over it, and successfully recovered 100% in 10 days. No magic involved, just doing the right thing at the right time.

I also understand the lack of readily available resources for patients, the general lack of medical follow-ups in treatment beyond the initial steroids and antivirals medications , the lack of referrals to specialists… The abundance of non scientifically proven over the counter and alternative treatments leaves one suffering from BP with mostly… Confusion.

Based on my experience with BP and my speedy recovery I’ve developed an online course to help other’s get on track to recovery and treat their Bell’s Palsy at home.

My experience with Pierre at Butheau Physiotherapy was nothing short of exceptional. After a severe ankle sprain, Pierre’s expertise and attentive care were instrumental in my swift recovery. He stands out for his ability to listen and customize treatments, demonstrating an in-depth understanding of physiotherapy and patient needs. Pierre’s approach is both innovative and effective, focusing on not just healing but also strengthening, ensuring a comprehensive recovery. His dedication to patient well-being is evident, making each session a positive and reassuring experience. I highly recommend Pierre to anyone in need of top-notch physiotherapy services. His professionalism and commitment to recovery are unparalleled.

Pierre is very knowledgeable and helped resolve many of my chronic joint pain from sports. Pierre was awesome at diagnosing the problem and also hashing out a long term improvement plan. Definitely recommend!

Pierre was amazing! On the first week I got Bell’s palsy, I scheduled an online appointment with him. He gave me few exercises and orientation that made my recovery time in 2 weeks. Many Thanks Pierre for all your help and support during the treatment.

I work in health care, but I have avoided physical therapy for years, as it can be hard to find a truly skilled therapist. I found Butheau PT in my Search. Wow! Pierre has a tidy and well appointed home clinic. During the evaluation he really made me feel that he wanted to see the big picture. He was curious with information gathering. It was obvious he was using his scientist/observer skills to piece together how the different movements and muscle use was causing me pain. I had described being historically bad with the exercise plan, and he encouraged in a way that was never patronizing, while empowering me to succeed. He uses a great emailed visual tool for exercise recall. What I really appreciate is his great manual skills at helping with hands on manipulation/massage. This isnt like a large clinic where you get send to use the exercise bike to burn through your minutes. I am telling all my OT/PT therapist friends, as Pierre is the type of therapist other therapists would be very happy to discover.
