I am more of an OT than a physio.

I am more of an occupational therapist or an OT than a physio, because I am focused on people’s function primarily. In physio school we learn to focus on “fixing” people and fixing anatomical structures...feel for C5-6 not moving BS and strengthening all the muscles that are weak and that stuff. Which is fine to some degree, but we’ve lost our origin. The origin of the (PT) profession was to focus on people’s function. After WWI when people had an amputation, our goal was to help them move again. People with Polio, our goal was to get them back to function again. People with stroke, people with MS, people with Parkinson’s, our goal is not to cure them. Our goal is to get them back to function and some point along the way, modalities came along and we got into lasers and tingling machines and ultrasound to try to fix people and eliminate their pain. How did that happen? We need to move away from being the profession that “fixes” people and gets rid of their pain, but a profession that helps people move and gets them back to function. It is more important to know what sort of person has the disease than to know what sort of a disease the person has. – Hippocrates
