Occupational Therapy

Physiotherapy focuses on improving movement, strength, and physical function after injuries, surgeries, or illnesses. It deals with the rehabilitation of muscles, bones, and nerves through exercises and manual therapy.

Occupational Therapy, on the other hand, emphasizes helping patients perform daily activities like dressing, eating, or working, especially after trauma, disability, or developmental issues. While both overlap, physiotherapy is body-function oriented, and occupational therapy is life-function oriented.
