Occupational Therapy vs Physical Therapy: Which Do You Need?

Physical Therapy focuses on restoring movement, strength, and physical function. OT focuses on helping patients perform daily activities independently.

When You Might Need Both: After a stroke, PT helps regain walking ability while OT helps relearn daily self-care tasks. After hand surgery, PT restores range of motion while OT focuses on functional grip and dexterity.
