What is the distinction between physical and occupational therapy?
Physical therapy and occupational therapy are frequently confused. Physical therapy assists patients in dealing with:
- Discomfort.
- Expanding your range of motion.
- Improving endurance.
- Strengthening gross motor skills.
Occupational therapy is more concerned with how clients perform activities such as:
- Getting dressed, driving, bathing, and more.
- Roles that are most important in their daily lives, like performing their jobs.
