The terms physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy are often used interchangeably, but they are two distinct therapies. Physiotherapy focuses on improving mobility and function; it helps to relieve pain, increase range of motion, and develop gross motor skills.
On the other hand, occupational therapy focuses on improving your ability to perform daily tasks, such as dressing and eating, among others. Occupational Therapy helps to improve fine and gross motor skills, allowing you to perform your daily activities independently.
While physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy focus on different things, they both enhance overall functioning and improve quality of life.
