HI,
Renowned Physiotherapists nowadays charge as much as 1500-2000 for a single session , that's equivalent or even higher as compared to a doctor who has done his MD or DNB so physiotherapy is gaining lot of importance these days and people are willing to pay huge amount for the same.

No doubt MBBS has a broader scope as compared to physiotherapy because MBBS leads to different specializations like radiology, surgery, oncology etc but physiotherapy in itself is a specialization so it's quite obvious that MBBS has a broader scope.

Hi,
Physiotherapy and MBBS are two very different streams, Physiotherapy falls under paramedical sciences while MBBS is a main stream medical course.
