What is the difference between OT and physiotherapy for stroke?

Stroke Recovery & Rehabilitation

Physiotherapy focuses on mobility, walking, balance, transfers, and large muscle strength. OT focuses on daily living tasks, feeding, dressing, grooming, cooking, and returning to meaningful activities. PT gets you moving. OT gets you living independently. Most stroke survivors need both services working together for the best recovery outcome.
