Physiotherapy aims to restore as much of your physical ability as possible, according to Quebec’s Ordre professionnel de la physiothérapie: mobility, balance, pain management, fall prevention. Occupational therapy helps people resume or keep doing the activities that matter to them day to day, according to the Ordre des ergothérapeutes du Québec (in French).
