Hi Ron:
Hope your elbow is recovering nicely. I am a OTR who injuried her dominant elbow (non work related)many years back while practicing in Upper extremity/Hand Rehabilitation. I felt pretty comfortable self treating until I realized that I needed further intervention ie,MRI and a clinician who was experienced with my specific injury(Tricep tear). It was interferring with the quality of my clients' care. I looked in my area and located a PT who was very instrumental in my successful outcome. I think it is dependent on your comfort level and knowing when to seek assistance. I feel it does not matter PT vs. OT if the clinician is working within their knowledge and practice base. Hope this helps. Maria

Hello Biraj and others:
My original question about seeing an OT or PT is really more of a
hypothetical question. While I really did fracture my elbow, it is
doubtful that I will need any therapy. The reason I was asking the
question was to hear readers opinions on when and why to refer to OT
versus PT.
Thanks,
Ron
