Has anyone tried using Kinesio tape to help with facial paralysis and droop? I have substantial mouth droop which does feel more comfortable and allows me to speak better when I tape my mouth up. The worry i have is that some websites say it shouldn't be used with active cancer while others say it can be used. Obviously advice from an experienced physiotherapist with knowledge of cancer should be the first point of contact, but trying to find one is a nightmare.
