Nobody can suggest what you can expect with any accuracy. Everyone's experience is different. Some are night and day different. You just need to be open to the tasks and exercises the various therapies involve.
OT means Occupational Therapy. It focuses on developing skills that allow one to return to normal life functions. PT Physical Therapy focuses on helping the body heal. OT helps you learn how to get the job (occupation) done. It can include learning work-arounds or new ways to do something.
The various therapies are specific to the dysfunction diagnoses. Not everyone needs all of them and some don't need many at all. The therapist should be able to determine what you need. In some cases, they will try a therapy to see if it leads to improvements. If there are no improvements, they may then consider the therapy was not needed. Unfortunately, they get paid either way.
