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

755 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.

Pt helps your body work. OT helps your life work or to adapt your life so it doesn’t hurt your body. OT might help with more applied and personalized skills, for example being consulted when someone gets a new wheelchair to see how they can best move between that exact wheelchair to their exact bed with their exact disabilities.
