Joe,
Of course not. PNF can only work if there is some innervation.

Massage of the facial mm as far as you can gather is a bit too broad to
respond. The physio may have been performing facial PNF, which is
considered a valid Rx for partially denervated mm.

What is "facial" PNF. All the PNF in the world will not re-innervate
the muscle. If you mean Overflow technique: is it possible when the
alpha motoneurons (the final common path) are non functioning?
