Probably the best description I've heard between the difference coming from PT. The only thing I would change is when you said that PT helps the patient navigate really OT does that through functional mobility. PT as far as ambulation and helping the patient walk really is looking at the mechanics of the motions that are involved and using specific exercises correcting those deficits. I am a PTA and a OTA and it's very important that each discipline understands what the other one does and be able to explain it appropriately as you did in this video.

So, Why would a doctor send someone with Occipital Neuralgia to both a PT and OT? when the problem has not been fixed thats causing the ON? what would be the reason for that?

This is very dated and not really true- coming from an OTA student.
