Hi All,
I would say that you could see both. However, since I am an OT student I would pick OT overall . The PT could work on strengthening techniques. The OT can apply the Biomechanical FOR which will cover strength, endurance, and ROM. Thanks for posting this question. I am interested in the responses that you will get. Thanks for the challenge.
