METHOD FOR TRAINING EPICRANIAL AND TEMPORAL MUSCLE BY APPLYING EXERCISES ON STRETCHING AND CONCURRENTLY STIMULATING ACTIVE POINTS OF THE MUSCLES Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves applying exercises done from initial position with facial muscles being relaxed. Frontal belly of epicranial aponeurosis is stimulated by directly treating the muscle with finger pressure and concurrently stretching the muscle upward. Occipital belly of epicranial aponeurosis is stimulated concurrently with frontal belly including finger pressure applied to the muscle at its beginning - the superior nuchal line - and concurrently stretching the muscle upward. Lateral belly of epicranial aponeurosis is stimulated by pressing it at the place of its attachment to auricle skin and concurrently stretching it upward in the case of anterior auricular muscle; at the places the superficial parietal artery and posterior auricular artery branches pass with concurrently stretching it upward in the case of superior auricular muscle; 1 cm far from its attachment place to auricle base, at the place of maximum action applied to the posterior auricular artery with concurrently stretching it upward in the case of posterior auricular muscle. Temporal muscle is stimulated by pressing three points of the muscle with fingers and concurrently stretching it upward. Then the same points are acted with concurrently stretching the muscles backward.

EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness in influencing face and head muscles tonus and activating their innervation and blood circulation.
