A young girl, just ten years old, suffered from severe jaw pain caused by juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Eating and speaking became daily struggles, and her family was deeply concerned.
They turned to occupational therapist Rubina Diesel, who crafted a holistic plan. Rubina prescribed jaw exercises, advised avoiding hard foods, and introduced mindfulness techniques to reduce strain. The girl followed the program diligently, with her family’s support.
After a year, her pain was gone, and specialists confirmed her jaw was realigned. This story shows how care, collaboration, and dedication can transform lives through occupational therapy
