1. What’s the Difference
Between Physical
Therapy and
Occupational Therapy?

2. Physical Therapy

3. A physical therapist focuses
specifically on one injury or set
of injuries. They work to rebuild
muscle groups. A PT might help
rehabilitate a knee injury a
basketball player received, or
that lingering shoulder injury
from falling down the stairs.

4. Occupational
Therapy

5. Occupational therapists work
with patients who are stroke
victims and the like, to teach
them how to dress and feed
themselves, and generally live
independently. OT's are in the
business of re-teaching people
basic skills, some fine motor
skills, etc.

6. For people who have suffered
strokes or other completely
debilitating injuries, just
strengthening the muscle isn't
always good enough. A lot of
people lose their most basic
abilities, like tying shoelaces or
turning a doorknob, and it's up to
OT's to re-teach them those skills.

7. Basic Info

8. Both PTs and OTs require special
certification and a post-
bachelors degree. These
occupations are becoming
increasingly popular, especially
as the Baby Boomer generation
starts to age. According to the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics,

9. the number of OTs in the
workforce is expected to
increase by 26 percent between
2008 and 2018, and the number
of PTs is expected to increase by
30 percent.
Wages for PTs and OTs are
competitive.

10. The median wage of a PT in 2008
was $72,790 and for an OT was
$66,780. While travel physical
therapy and travel occupational
therapy jobs can earn up to
$100,000+.
