    A physiotherapist is not considered a doctor in the traditional sense like an MBBS or MD professional. Physiotherapists are highly trained healthcare professionals who specialize in rehabilitation, injury prevention, and physical therapy, but they do not hold a medical degree unless they pursue further qualifications like a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) abroad. In India, after completing a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) or Master's (MPT), they are addressed as therapists, not medical doctors.
