What is the difference between a Physical Therapist (PT) and Occupational Therapist (OT)?

759 viewsOther

I’ve asked multiple people and have never gotten a clear answer. They’re always consulted together in the hospital, but I’m sure they have different responsibilities.

Occupational therapy is from the elbows to the hands from what my doctor told me since his medical group doesn’t offer occupational therapy.

Someone I know who just got an OT doctorate said it deals with how you occupy yourself with whatever activities you do and how your injury/disability affects those activities we take for granted and how you have to adapt to do those tasks you’ve done before without having to think about it.
