A member asked:
Occupational/physical therapy --what is difference?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In brief: They way our wonderful therapists at jefferson university hospital in philadelphia explain it to the incoming resident class: physical therapists work on making sure you can walk or get across the room. Occupational therapists make sure you can dress and wash yourself before you walk across the room.
