No, occupational therapy is not the same as physical therapy.
While both help restore strength and mobility, physical therapy focuses on improving overall movement, balance, and physical function – through exercises, gait training, and pain management.
Occupational therapy, on the other hand, helps people adapt to their social and physical environment by relearning activities of daily living (ADLs), such as dressing, memory exercises, and coordination skills.
Skilled speech and language pathologists address communication issues and swallowing dysfunctions. Our staff will design treatment plans to help with language ability, provide alternate communication strategies and give appropriate diet recommendations.
