yes. much more. OT - need master's degree. PT assistant - associates degree. more school = more $$
not true the COTA ( certified occupational therapy assistant) and the PTA (physical therapist assistant ) make about the same ... both can have a assoc or BS degrees: varies by state ( some PTA's are licenced- eg PTA's in MICH.) PT & OT pay varies by the way either use their skills and if employed by same employer at same job level pay may well be the same . Opportunities to enhance the pay check occur in all professions
PT makes a lot more. more schooling = more$$
From a person I know that is one, he makes around 100K-150K a year in his business. However, his assistants makes 30K-40K.
A physical therapist aid makes about $40,000 a year. This can vary greatly depending on their experience and where they work.
A therapy assistant can make between $14.40 and $21.60 an hour
Physical Therapy Assistant can not deviate from the plan of care. As a part of their job duty their role is to follow the treatment plan created by Physical therapist. I think in Texas and California( I am sure in USA as whole) PT is the one who makes the treatment plan and not PTA. In Texas or California this is the law for PTA. Hope it helps.
Occupational Therapists help people achieve independence and improve their ability to perform daily activities. Physical therapists focus on the large motor groups needed for walking, reaching, standing and physical activities. They work on strength, balance, and range of motion.

A physio therapist typically only makes around $17,000 to $20,000 a year. This job is not a highly trained position and a high school degree with special training is all that is required for this position.
According to the website for the United State Bureau of Labor, a physical therapist makes an average of $76,310 per year or $36.69 per hour. However, they fail to list information for a "traveler physical therapist", so you'd have to look elsewhere for a more definitive answer for that similar occupation.
