No one course is better than other. Both are important in a patient's life.
Physiotherapy focuses on pain reduction, strength and mobility but Occupational Therapy focuses on independence in daily activities like dressing, eating and working.
Example: A PT helps a patient walk again after knee surgery. But an OT helps a stroke patient learn to feed or dress themselves again.
At the end, it should be a candidate's decision made with keeping career goals and liking in their minds.
Hope this helped your query! All the best!
