Occupational therapy isn’t about finding a job. Occupational therapists treat a variety of conditions that impact fine motor skills and can make doing everyday tasks difficult.
Physical therapy is usually one of the first steps to treat injury, mobility, weakness, and pain concerns.
Occupational therapists can treat any part of your body, even your cognitive concerns, to help you develop and practice skills necessary to complete daily tasks.
Physical therapists treat more than orthopedic conditions: some specialize in other areas like women’s health, balance and vestibular disorders, sports medicine, concussion recovery, neurology, cardiac rehab, and geriatrics.
