Physical Therapy
A physical therapist focuses specifically on one injury or set of injuries. They work to rebuild muscle groups. A PT might help rehabilitate a knee injury a basketball player received, or that lingering shoulder injury from falling down the stairs.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists work with patients who are stroke victims and the like, to teach them how to dress and feed themselves, and generally live independently. OT's are in the business of re-teaching people basic skills, some fine motor skills, etc. For people who have suffered strokes or other completely debilitating injuries, just strengthening the muscle isn't always good enough. A lot of people lose their most basic abilities, like tying shoelaces or turning a doorknob, and it's up to OT's to re-teach them those skills.
Basic Info
Both PTs and OTs require special certification and a post-bachelors degree. These occupations are becoming increasingly popular, especially as the Baby Boomer generation starts to age. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of OTs in the workforce is expected to increase by 26 percent between 2008 and 2018, and the number of PTs is expected to increase by 30 percent.
Wages for PTs and OTs are competitive. The median wage of a PT in 2008 was $72,790 and for an OT was $66,780. While travel physical therapy and travel occupational therapy jobs can earn up to $100,000+.
