What is the difference between OT and physiotherapy for carpal tunnel?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (OT)

Hand therapy OTs specialise in the hand, wrist, and forearm. They fabricate custom splints, perform detailed nerve and tendon gliding programmes, and address how CTS affects your work tasks specifically. Physiotherapists may provide general wrist exercises but typically do not custom-fabricate splints or focus on workplace task adaptation.
