• Physical therapy focuses on treating physical restrictions. Treatments are centered on rehabilitating patients' bodies in order to help them move without pain or limitations.

• Occupational therapy focuses on helping patients find safe ways to perform the "occupations" of daily life. That often means finding ways to improve patients' environments in order to accommodate any physical restrictions or teaching them new ways to perform various activities.
