FAQ

How do physical therapy and occupational therapy differ?

At Physical Therapy Nest, we often get asked about the differences. Both aim to enhance quality of life, but focus on different rehabilitation aspects. Physical therapy (PT) addresses restoring physical function and mobility through exercises, manual therapy, and modalities for pain management, strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Occupational therapy (OT) enables daily tasks and activities. Our OT helps clients develop or regain skills for independent living and self-care, from dressing to cooking. OT may involve adapting environments or using assistive devices. Both PT and OT are essential for comprehensive rehab, with PT improving physical movement and reducing pain, and OT enhancing daily activity performance.
