Occupational therapy and kinesiotherapy are completely different programs. It would be unfair to both organizations to combine them on one page.

I Agree with you 100% -- They are very different. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.228.194.248 (talk) 22:11, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

then add something to the article to make it clear what the difference is (and preferably include citations, professional bodies, examining boards, etc.) Gabrielbodard (talk) 20:11, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

This seems quite similar to physical therapy. Either we should explain the difference or we should merge the two articles. At present there's not even a link between the two. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 13:44, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. This comes from a translation discrepancy. In France & Belgium, Physical therapists are called Kinesiotherapists. In French-speaking Switzerland and Quebec, those professionals are called Physical therapists. To complicate things further, French people believe that Physiotherapy is a subset of Kinesiotherapy. Merge and explain ;) NicDumZ ~ 06:33, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
