Facing the mirror, the first mission is to raise your eyebrows to the maximum.\u00a0<\/p>

Raising your eyebrows and opening your mouth at the same time \u2013 like a 'surprised face' \u2013 wrinkling your nose, as if you smelled 'that' bad smell, and giving a 'shy little smile', with your lips together, are the next steps.<\/p>

To end the series, think of something very, very happy.<\/p>

And open a smile to show your teeth.<\/p>

You might have guessed, but this is far from a 'faces and mouths' guide to quarantine.<\/p>

The sequence is part of a set of \u201cfacial mime exercises\u201d suggested to men and women that professionals from the Santos Dumont Institute (ISD) accompany \u2013 currently 'from a distance' \u2013 in the Parkinson's<\/a>.<\/p>

The Anita Garibaldi Health Education and Research Center of the ISD<\/a>, acts as Rehabilitation Center (CER III)<\/a> since 2017 and is a reference in the Unified Health System (SUS).<\/p>

The work involves a neurologist and professionals from physiotherapy, psychology, neuropsychology, speech therapy, occupational therapy and students from the Multidisciplinary Residency in Health Care for Persons with Disabilities. The Institute also has pelvic physiotherapy for neurogenic bladder and urologist.\u00a0<\/p>

The clinic encompasses about 57 patients. Provides individual consultations and multi-therapeutic groups that, with the need for isolation due to the pandemic, have been carried out by telephone and using a cell phone application.<\/p>

\u201cWe are in teleservice with several users and their families in a multidisciplinary group that takes place on Thursdays. It addresses various topics, such as guidelines for physical exercise, speech therapy, reflections on mental health, cognitive exercises to keep the mind active and health education information, including how to use art to express how they are experiencing the period of withdrawal and how identify and not share false information\u201d, describes neuropsychologist Jo\u00edsa Ara\u00fajo.<\/p>

Strategies that encourage mental health care and the dissemination of information that reinforce the importance of a routine in which they sleep well, have a healthy diet and interact with the family \u2013 in person or remotely, to reduce anxiety \u2013 are among the strategies disseminated to the group. Different exercises \u2013 including these, of facial mime \u2013 are also pointed out as essential to keep the rehabilitation up to date, according to the speech therapist and multidisciplinary preceptor of the ISD, Mar\u00edlia Pinheiro.<\/p>
