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

Question

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.

Answer 1

PTs get paid by health insurance. OTs get paid by workers’ comp.

Anyway, that’s my sister’s cynical view. She’s a professor of OT.
