We get asked this question all the time: "What is the actual difference between OT and PT?" đ While both disciplines can be catalysts for development, they each bring their own specialized "superpowers" to the table! đڏââď¸đڏââď¸
Consider this:
Physical Therapy (PT) is all about the BIG moves! Our PTs are the experts of gross motor skills, helping kiddos conquer crawling, walking, jumping, and balance.
Occupational Therapy (OT) is all about the DOING! Our OTs focus on the "jobs" of childhoodâlike buttoning a coat, using a fork, playing on the playground, handwriting, and even sensory processing.
Whether it's completing an obstacle course or mastering a functional pencil grasp, these two work together as the â¨Dynamic Duo⨠to help your child achieve their milestones!
