How Both Therapies Work Together
Physical and Occupational Therapy
While physical therapy focuses on improving movement and strength, occupational therapy helps individuals perform daily tasks safely and confidently. When used together, these therapies form a complete recovery strategy.
Understanding Physical Therapy
Physical therapy helps people improve physical abilities, especially after injury, illness, or age-related changes.
Therapists create personalized programs to reduce pain, improve movement, and restore function, such as regaining strength after surgery or managing arthritis.
It covers a wide range of needs.
Understanding Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy helps people regain the ability to perform daily tasks through therapeutic activities. It focuses on physical recovery and enabling a fulfilling life.
For example, after a stroke, an occupational therapist helps relearn tasks like dressing, cooking, or driving. Both physical and occupational therapy work together to improve mobility and daily function.
