The Biggest Occupational Therapy Myths

from Live Better Longer Hosted by FOX Rehabilitation

In honor of OT Month, FOX Rehabilitation’s Live Better Longer podcast sits down with Amanda Cable, OTD, OTR/L, to clear up some of the biggest misconceptions about occupational therapy and discuss why it is still misunderstood by many. What does an occupational therapist actually do, and why do so many people still confuse it with physical therapy? In a full-circle moment, Amanda shares how her journey into the field actually began with a physical therapist. Amanda breaks down the real-world impact of occupational therapy, answers the questions she hears most often, and reflects on the moments she has had to set the record straight. We also talk about what she is most excited about at this year’s AOTA Conference in Anaheim, California. If you have ever wondered where OT fits into your health journey, or you are looking for a fresh perspective on function, independence, and living well, this episode is a great way to kick off OT Month.
