What is the difference between physical and occupational therapy?

Physical and occupational therapies are often part of a rehabilitation team but should not be confused with one another as they serve very different purposes for patients.

Occupational therapy aims to improve your ability to perform specific movements during everyday activities. Occupational therapy focuses more on helping clients regain or improve activities such as getting dressed, bathing, and household responsibilities. For some, it is helping return to work with modifications and/or adaptations.

Occupational therapists also help with physical, psychological, and cognitive processing to help people complete the most important roles in their daily lives, community, and job performance.

Physical therapy helps patients with musculoskeletal pain, injuries, and disorders. Physical therapists routinely help people with:

  • Pain and dysfunction from pain
  • Improving mobility and functional abilities

  • Restoring and enhancing strength, power, and endurance
  • Restoring balance, coordination, and agility

What are the advantages of this treatment in North New Hyde Park, NY?

People of all ages can benefit from occupational therapy, ranging from children with disabilities in school to adults or older people needing help improving their physical function and cognitive health.

Our occupational therapists focus on each patient’s day-to-day functional needs by providing exercises and activities that enhance physical and mental health. For some, it’s relearning how to move; for others, it is about relearning to plan and process actions.

We put in a lot of effort to assist people in recovering from physical, mental, and cognitive processing injuries, illnesses, or disabilities.

Our OT plans at AgeWell Physical Therapy include the following:

  • A one-on-one assessment to determine the patient’s objectives.
  • Interventions based on your daily tasks and activities.
  • A re-evaluation to determine whether or not objectives were met and, if necessary, to modify the treatment plan.

Occupational therapy addresses each need to help someone regain functioning skills and other elements of their well-being through activity. The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in everyday activities.
