What this licence covers
Occupational therapists (OT, OTR/L) work on the specific activities a person needs to do — dressing, writing, driving, returning to a job. Where a physical therapist typically targets the movement itself, an occupational therapist targets the task, including adapting the task or the environment.
Hand, wrist and forearm — often after surgery, fracture or repetitive strain.
The formal definition

Many also hold another licence
different training route, same personThese are registrations where the same person also holds a licence of a genuinely different kind — not the same qualification recorded twice. It is worth knowing because it widens what someone can work with: a counsellor who is also a social worker brings a different second toolkit than one who is also a behaviour analyst.
Counted from every taxonomy code on a registration, not just the primary one. A provider can appear under more than one row.
