If PT is the tire then OT is the road. You've gotta put the rubber on the road at some point.

So, how do you describe the difference? Generally, I visualize and articulate the following: When the focus of treatment is on a body part (leg, arm, hand, foot, etc), then it's PT. When the focus of treatment is on occupation, then it's OT. Obviously overlap exists between body parts and occupation, but it's the FOCUS of treatment (i.e. the goals) separating PT and OT. In home health, a GREAT place for OT, I really find that this treatment approach integrates well with PT and patient outcomes.
