What is the difference between occupational therapy and physiotherapy?

Students often ask us, “What’s the difference between physiotherapy and occupational therapy?” While there are significant differences between the two professions, there are many areas where they overlap.

Physiotherapy (or physical therapy) is a health care profession with a focus on assessing, improving and restoring physical function.

Occupational therapy also looks at physical function, but extends this to consider how this affects your ability to engage in occupation such as daily activities, leisure and work.

What’s the difference between an MPT and a DPT?

What’s the difference between the MPT and DPT? Australia is a world-leader in physiotherapy degrees, offering both Master of Physiotherapy (MPT) and Doctor of Physiotherapy (DPT) programs.

The main difference is really the length of the program. The Master of Physiotherapy is typically a four-semester program delivered over two years.

Conversely, the Doctor of Physiotherapy is a longer, six-semester program generally delivered over three years. The exception to this is the Bond University Doctor of Physiotherapy, in which you can complete all six semesters in just two years of more intensive study.

The two extra semesters of a DPT provide a bit more flexibility in terms of electives and there is often an additional clinical placement. This means that if you want to complete physiotherapy licensing in Canada after you graduate you’ll be more likely to have obtained the required number of clinical hours within the scope of the program, instead of having to seek out further practice after your degree.

So, the DPT isn’t like a PhD? Unlike the MPT, the DPT will include a research component, although it’s not a PhD. Think of it more like an extended master’s program. However, if you’re thinking about going on to complete a PhD, the research component will give you the leverage to follow that path!

What about if you want to practice as a physiotherapist in the United States? If you’re planning to practice as a physiotherapist in the United States, Lara recommends going with the DPT.

Generally it’s the only physiotherapy degree option to be recognized across all states, although you should always check with your desired state’s physiotherapy licensing board to ensure your degree of choice will satisfy their licensing requirements.
