The pillars of complementary medicine include occupational therapy and physical therapy. They improve functional, muscular, and structural stability. However, it is important to note that occupational therapy, as well as physical therapy, are completely different tools for rehabilitation.

Fascicle-charged stimulation thermal healing is the treatment of injuries that have caused damage to the muscles and tendons. Physical therapy aims to restore activity and not affect the normal healing process.

Occupational therapy is a method of helping people adapt to injuries to increase productivity and independence. An occupational therapist assists in mobility optimization after an injury that could lead to permanent disability. Occupational therapists can also help prevent injuries and aggravated wear-and-tear tissue damage.

Physical therapists use their extensive knowledge of anatomy, human musculoskeletal systems, and physiological functioning of muscles and joints to restore mobility and full ranges of joint activity. Physical therapy maneuvers and exercises can also reduce the risk of injury and joint destruction.

Physical therapy can improve mobility and condition. To improve the function of the body, physical therapists use interventions such as massage, acupuncture, and exercises.

Physical therapists focus on the management of musculoskeletal instability, while occupational therapists cover all aspects of a person’s life, including social (by increasing physical independence), psychological counseling, economic (by decreasing caregiver dependence), and professional (by changing work-environment or skill set training).

Although there are overlaps in the primary functions and aims of both therapies, it is safe to say that some individuals may require both occupational therapy and physical therapy to achieve maximum benefits.
