Hello dear ,

Yes Physical Therapists / Physiotherapists are Doctors . (4.5 year Bachelors degree BPT) + (2 year Master degree MPT) + (3 year Doctoral degree) = Doctor of Physical Therapy. According to the association, physiotherapists can use the title 'Dr' before their names and the Medical Council of India (MCI) and the Indian Medical Association (IMA) have no statutory power to regulate the profession in India.

Hope this helps !!
