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

753 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.

In my family, we have a DPT who helps with healing your body, recovery of muscles, joints, etc. to correct issues to reduce or eliminate pain, and a OTD who helps you learn (or relearn) how to live your life, do the daily, essential tasks you must do, etc., whether after an injury or congenital condition (and no, an occupational therapist doesn’t help you find a job – a query she’s fielded too many times)
