More Lemon Face Challenge Videos! East Lake and Gautier Rehab Centers
East Lake Physical Therapy & Sports Rehabilitation and Gautier Rehab Services accept the Lemon Face Challenge from Singing River Health Systems!
The Lemon Face Challenge is to help spread awareness for DIPG. DIPG is Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma and it is a rare and deadly pediatric brain cancer.
- DIPG primarily affects children, with most diagnoses occurring between 5 and 7 years of age.
- DIPG makes up 10-15% of all brain tumors in children, with about 150-300 new diagnoses per year in the United States.
- Unlike many other pediatric cancers, there has been little progress in improving treatments and cure rates for DIPG over the last few decades.
- Unfortunately, fewer than 10% of children with DIPG survive two years from diagnosis. **
This disease has affected several children in the Mississippi Gulf Coast area. Singing River Health System and Encore Rehabilitation are doing their part to raise awareness of DIPG.

Autism and Physical Therapy
**The following is an except from MoveFowardPT.com, a website of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). For more information, read the full article, click here.
How can a Physical Therapist help children with an autism diagnosis?
“Physical therapists can work with your child, family, and educational team to help your child:
- Improve participation in daily routines at home and school
- Acquire new motor skills
- Develop better coordination and a more stable posture
- Improve reciprocal play skills, such as throwing and catching a ball with another person
- Develop motor imitation skills (seeing another person perform an action and then copying that action)
- Increase fitness and stamina
“A physical therapist will conduct a thorough evaluation of your child that will typically include a health and developmental history and assessment of:
- Postural strength and control
- Functional mobility (eg, walking and running)
- Body and safety awareness
- Coordination
- Play skills
- Interests and motivators
- Ability to change between different activities
- Strengths and challenges in making large body movements, such as jumping, hopping, pedaling a tricycle or bicycle, and skipping
- Participation in daily routines in the home, community, and school
“Your physical therapist will work with you to develop goals to help your child participate as fully as possible in daily routines at home, in the community, and at school. Your physical therapist will then develop a comprehensive plan to meet your child’s, and your whole family’s needs. No “standard” treatment exists for children with ASD (Austism Spectrum Disorder). Each child’s challenges and goals are different. Your physical therapist will design an individual program to meet the strengths and needs of your child. The therapist will work with you to monitor how your child progresses, and collect data to make sure that the treatment plan is leading to positive outcomes for your child.”**
If you have questions regarding how physical therapy may benefit a friend or family member with Autism Spectrum Disorder, please contact your nearby Encore Rehabilitation clinic. Encore locations can be found by clicking here.

How Occupational Therapy Can Help Relieve Rheumatoid Arthritis
There are many people who struggle with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Here is an excerpt from the article, “10 Simple Adjustments to Relieve RA Hand Pain”, that could help you resume your daily activities that RA was keeping you from.
How an Occupational Therapist Can Help –
“According to an analysis of numerous research studies published by the Cochrane Collaboration, there’s a lot of evidence that working with an occupational therapist when you have RA can help you use your hands for everyday tasks more efficiently and with less pain. The occupational therapist’s goal is to ensure that you can participate in any activity you want while still protecting your joints and getting hand pain relief.
For starters, an occupational therapist teaches people with RA about disease self-management, Dodge says – offering instruction on joint protection techniques, how to use assistive devices, how to conserve your energy, and exercises that…
