In this collab video with an occupational therapist, Nancy, we will discuss the differences between occupational therapy and physical therapy (OT vs PT).
We talk about the differences in school requirements like requisites, how long it takes to become a OT/PT, day in the life of a OT/PT, and salary of a OT and PT.

@laupeter4594 2 года назад

PT training tends to be more structured. OT training often doesn’t have a protocol, it’s more about whether or not the patient is satisfied with your services and this is where your creativity jumps in

@marvynluna3637 6 месяцев назад

Both professions know the entire body in and out. Both are extremely helpful but OT has an additional area that we can dive into which is Mental health.

@stefaniehernandez-mendez1044 3 года назад

Wow! Right now at my internship I get to help out with both PT and OT, and even though I am going for physical therapy I have a new found respect for occupational therapists. Both professions truly work hand in hand as a team.

@drjustinleedpt 3 года назад

Thats so awesome! Its great you're getting that experience because you can see different areas of rehab and how other professions can treat too. such a great opportunity!!

At my job it’s like pt and ot don’t know what the other is doing. One will write 1 asast for transfer and the other will make hoyer transfer for toilet. So many care plan inconsistencies.

Hey Rita what did you decide? I originally want to get into PTA and messed up on my requirements, so I went into the LPN program which had the same prereqs. Now I'm a pediatric lpn. But I'm planning on working towards a bachelor's in nursing and using that to go towards the DPT program.

@colemanharris5950 2 года назад

Good to see an OT and PT respecting each other’s fields. During my shadowing, PT and OT would consult each other to get the best of both worlds, but at my MOT program there is very little intermingling. Some say the PT’s have a superiority complex, but I think it’s just because either professional is more comfortable with their cohort. Great video!

Fr idk why the PTs freakout when OTs treat the neck. Its in the scope... and usually i find the people angry or with the superiority complex are the older generations

I’ve been in healthcare careers for over 30 years, and as an MSOTR for over 20. PT and OT are both valuable, both needed. I’ve worked in general and rehab hospitals, state psych hospital, SNF-Rehab, out patient clinics, and home health. Not in schools. That said, from my experiences, I think PTs have higher pay rates, greater demand for their services, and a more “succinct” way of defining their clinical role to patients and the community - including to our cohorts like MDs and nurses! I’ve got 9 years under my belt as a home health OT. My treatment time with patients is longer and more involved than the PTs I’ve worked with. They can see 30-40 folks in a week, to my 20-25. And since we’re paid “per visit”, and I often have an even smaller caseload, the PTs are earning much more than me.

@marvynluna3637 6 месяцев назад

OTs are greatly needed in hospitals because hospitals know OTs are versatile but they SCAM them by paying them lower when it should be higher or same. Either way the hospital is making alot from both therapists and paying them pennies. OTs that worked over 20 years know this. The PTs are paid but the hospitals really need OTs for some reason we still cant comprehend but the OTs now get paid around $40-45 an hour. Outpatient rn market is $37 minimum (still low because 15 years ago when a bunch of the OTs i worked with were paid 36). Home Health is around $50-55.

@JayJay-ue3xy 4 месяца назад

In Australia, OTS get paid alot especially if they worth within the disability field. The disability field in Australia is huge, people can get 24hr care. OTs do all their assessments. They get $200 an hr.

Hey man, this was a great and comprehensive video you did and I appreciate this info a lot. I already have gotten about 60+ hours of shadowing at a PT clinic who have been so amazing in their performance and the way they treat patients. They too deal with patients one on one for one hour straight ranging from ages I've seen 29 to 95 so far. MY QUESTION FOR YOU: She mentioned starting salary was about 38-40 dollars an hour but you mentioned the average a PT makes, not starting salary. What would be a starting salary for PT? I hope you can get back to me. Best, -Matt

You both covered a lot but neither of you described what differentiates your therapy focus from each other. I know most patients have no idea what differentiates you in the treatment performed. Otherwise very good.

I would love to be an OT or PT but I’m super old now so, 7 years on I’ll be old so old. I wish we could go back in time I would have done better at school got a tutor if needed and started knowing more occupations to choose from and learn about so I could have been an OT or PT.

@drjustinleedpt 3 года назад

I am sorry to hear that you feel older. It is never too late to get into a profession, but I have to admit, there is a lot of work and a lot of time required to become a OT or a PT. Have you considered the assistant route? Like PTA?

@gabrielleholt8899 3 года назад

Go for OTA or PTA. I am 24 and did not want to go back to school for 7 years. Ota only requires 2 years and depending on your state the pay is awesome. If you want to continue on to OT after that, they have bridge programs to move you forward in

What is the difference between a massage therapy and OP therapy and TP

@drjustinleedpt Год назад

Massage therapy is mostly just working on the muscles and superficial tissue. They don’t diagnose and don’t use too much clinical thinking. OT and PT can work on the muscles and other tissues like nerves joints and also incorporate exercises (there are more but that’s a good gist of it)

@sagehagan1575 Год назад

You make PT sound way better plus it seems like pt. pays more, I want to work at a school or clinic maybe home care only because of the one on one, there was a lot I do not like as doing home care in the past plus I hear if you go for the whole thing and become a PT you can blackly be more like the R.N. not like a lpn and have to what ot have less they can scop , my goal is to work with schools , I have been a patient for pt for different things unfortunately and ot to strengthen my hand and learn how to write , and I saw my Dad go throw pt ot & speech therapy . it is a verry hared choice, to make it seems like pt is more saturated and way more schools, ota school would mean I would have to move two hours away, plus pay seems less and if I went past a pta or ota pta sounds better being you have to put a lot of money into it,I would not care so much about the money, but I have to work less hours and pay for college. and both can work in schools, but it is hard to see what is needed more.
