Book Review: Vital Face: Facial Exercises and Massage for Health and Beauty by Leena Kiviluoma

Vital Face: Facial Exercises and Massage for Health and Beauty
by Leena Kiviluoma


The developer of facial muscle care and facial muscle therapy, physiotherapist Leena Kiviluoma has written a comprehensive book about facial muscle care, which has many benefits for muscles and the connective tissues, the nervous system, the circulatory system, the skin and the bones. The medically-based instructions are safe and everyone can choose the right exercise and procedures suitable for their individual needs. Regular practice of facial muscle exercises improves both health and outlook.

Leena Kiviluoma has done trailblazing work in developing her ingenious, easy-to-use facial muscle care technique. I use her book when I teach anatomy, physiology and skin care to trainee nursing professionals. I also use it to teach about masticatory systems and how patients can treat certain dysfunctions themselves. This is an excellent book for health care professionals.
