Confluent Health is proud to share that Dr. Stephen Clark, PT, DPT, OCS, ATC, Chief Clinical Officer at Confluent Health, and Kaitlyn Burke, an Occupational Therapist at Lake Centre for Rehab’s The Villages Brownwood Clinic, were recently featured in a U.S. News & World Report article discussing the key differences between physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT). The article, titled Physical Therapy vs. Occupational Therapy: What’s the Difference?, provides valuable insights into how each discipline plays a critical role in patient rehabilitation and overall well-being.
Dr. Clark, a recognized leader in musculoskeletal care and rehabilitation, highlighted the role of physical therapy in improving movement, function, and pain management. His expertise reinforces the importance of a PT-first approach in addressing musculoskeletal conditions, a cornerstone of Confluent Health’s mission to provide accessible, evidence-based care.
Kaitlyn Burke, an experienced occupational therapist, provided insight into how OT helps patients regain independence in daily activities following injury or illness.
