is it possible that OT will be terminated in the future? i am currently receiving PT for my LBP at a really nice big outpatient center and they have OTs too. PTs take over 95% of the space whereas only OTs have a very little like 5%. how sad. it was really late like 6pm and everyone was socializing and no one really was speaking to this OT whom wasn't doing anything at that moment.
