Occupational and Physical therapists are both trained in the function of the human body. OT is more focused on fine motor skills - specifically the hands and upper extremities. Activities of Daily Living - eating, drinking, showering, cooking, daily function, adaptive equipment and home modifications. PT works with gross motor skills like running, walking, lifting, range of motion and strengthening of all joints and muscle groups.
An appropriately designed treatment program may include some uncomfortable stretching but many patients state they feel better after each therapy session.
Every problem is unique. Many patients see relief in their first and second treatment sessions. Tissue healing can take 4 - 6 weeks.
