Physical Therapy (PT) and Occupational Therapy (OT) are two distinct but complementary forms of rehabilitation that focus on helping individuals recover from injuries, illnesses, or disabilities. PT primarily aims to restore movement and function through exercises, manual therapy, and modalities that reduce pain and improve mobility. It often emphasizes physical rehabilitation to enhance strength, balance, and overall physical performance. On the other hand, OT concentrates on enabling individuals to perform daily activities and live more independently by addressing the physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges they may face. This may include adapting environments, teaching new skills, and using assistive devices to facilitate participation in everyday tasks. Together, PT and OT work to improve the quality of life for patients by promoting functional independence and enhancing overall well-being.
