Yes I'm also physiotherapist my specialization is orthopaedic in mpt. We study like a medical student all subjects are similar. But however medical student shows partiality with this field and government also.we have no autonomous body to follow up.even UK and other European countries physiotherapist may prescribe medicine also ..But india Drs may peep out other field and degrade also.

Sir... My newphe want physiotheropy

I don't understand y MBBS are doctors why not bpt,,MBBS are under bachelor's BPT are also bachelor's they why they are doctors why not us😞
U are ,use prefix dr,it's ur right
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everyone should watch this video..who is misleading and haven't proper information of using the prefix dr.
And they look down to others ,just because of jealously and showing theirselves superior ,
They forgot that the novel person never look down others.. they respect everyone
Iam proud all my physio profession dear ❤️🔥
As a physio I restore people's life after surgeries etc so yeah physical therapy is not just a walk through the park! You must know allot of things in order to be good.. So I get payed allot of money..okay.. But I have read the same amount as a orthopedic or any other Dr. So why not don't we get the title? Ik why.. Doctor society is a closed lobby that don't want anyone to enter its true. Maybe in the future we will get what we deserve
Get well soon .don't very
InshaAllah
Study of physiotherapist are pretty much same as an Mbbs student and we know everything an Mbbs student know and this is really strange that person who had done phd in English subject also address as doctor but those who had all knowledge about medical field (physiotherapist) are not .
I can't agree more .
Who said not,don't believe those jealous mbbs,show them video,use dr as prefix,it's legal by law, create awareness
Physiotherapy is one very valuable degree or master's degree and their contribution in that field is immense to the mankind. What is the harm to call them as physio,s. Similarly there are other degree and P.G courses like Bachelor's in speech pathology and Audiology, Bachelor's in Occupational therapy. Bachelor's prosthetic and Orthotics dealing with other aspects of human disease disabilities will they prefix a Doctor before their names please tell.
Excellent work Dr. Abdul i salute you.pls also add on Maharashtra and Gujarat council certificate is clearly mention Dr.prefix
Ghanta dr
Sir I am a student of physiotherapy so tell me will I call doctor or not ???
Maryam aadeez definitely you will call Dr. becz now your council recognise you with Dr. Prefix.
Abhishek Sharma you psychopath ppl suffer from professional heartburn becz today everyone aware about importances of Physiotherapy.
@@dr.rajatsrivastava8560 thanks
anyone who is graduated from medical side and have the ability to treat patients is a doctor .
how many votes to this comment🥲
a physiotherapist do always what a medical doctor can't
there is no comparison with others we are the faculty of modern medicine thats what universities are awarding.
we are assessing ,diagnosing and treating that's how a right health care professional practice.
so friends cheers don't care about others what they argue just use whatever you want ,in my perspective being as a MPT (ORTHO) why should i use DR. if medical professionals having such jealous/pain?,i don't because they never become physiotherapist,they can't do what we do,they don't have the knowledge of physiotherapist,sooo we are proud of being as physio.

Dear Sreenivasa, Thanks for taking time and writing a note!
Hi sir
Great Video Dr Abdul it's true that in Indian society who relieves problems of the patient is recognised as Doctor if u visit any small town or village they identifies with Dr prefix first and ask u rest of the things hence craving for Dr prefix as society used to it physiotherapists obviously identifies the problem and treat the patient now I left to the guys whether you should consider as Dr or not
The Rehabilitation Council of India Act, 1994
The RCI Act was enacted in 1994 to regulate the training of rehabilitation professions and to maintain a central rehabilitation register for all the matters connected to these professions. According to Section 2 in XVII chapter of the RCI Act, the term ‘physiotherapist’ refers to a rehabilitation professional. Thus, Indian physiotherapists are regulated by the provisions of the RCI Act and its rules and regulations.
The act also states that physiotherapists are not allowed to practice medicine and to prescribe drugs, especially the scheduled drugs that are listed in the Drugs and the Cosmetics Act on their own. They do not possess the recognised qualification as mentioned in the Indian Medical Council Act 1956. Also, they cannot and should not claim themselves to be a specialist medical practitioner by prefixing ‘Dr’ with their name in their prescription. Practicing this is an offense in the eyes of the law and the said person is a quack and can be dealt with imprisonment or penalty or both.
Physiotherapy some realities
1)Major portion of physiotherapy graduates dont have job or working with very less salery many physiotherapist left the field for lively hood
2)5060 physiotherapy graduates passed out each year in south India itself. 200 beded hospital only need 2 physiotherapist . Students passed out previas years remains hear as jobless how many hospitals should be there to accomodate this huge number
3)Job opertunities abroad also reducing substatialy each year, physiotherapist who migrated to US UK Caneda Australia works in supermarket Hotels petrol pumb etc.Many gulf countries now appoints employes who are natives of that country
4)Many hospitals now converting their physiotherapy department to Physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR)HOD will be physiatrist (MBBS DPMR )role of a physiotherapist in this department is just a helper
5)Since there is no regulatory authority for physiotherapy in India somany unautherised practices (quakery)going on in this field This also reduces job opertunities
6)Now a days new threat also there... Bvok physiotherapy that is common in normal arts collage only 3 years, course. Hospitals appoint these people with less salary
7)Running own clinic need huge investment no patients approach physiotherapist directly reference from medical doctors is a must usualy they give pain killers to patient or ask commission for each reference. Majority of clinics closed already or in loss
8)"Physiotherapists are called as doctors "" these are only just canvasing words of agents during admision. In practical sence none of the hospitals, gov bodies allow this
9) If a person join BPT who are the benificiaries. Career guidance people who took admission will get commission. Collage authorities will get donation fees fine etc in huge amount after struggling 4 & half years. Private hospitals will appoint him as a trainee (slave)with out salary and charge him thousands for experience cirtificate after some years this physiotherapist will quit physiotherapy field for livelihood
.......
Do you want to spoil your future by studying physiotherapy?
I am a BPT student... And I am proud of that☺️
Physiotherapy students use stesthcope or not
How may hours you have to work each day in the course of 6 months of internship?
Sudhakar Sudhershan yes bro of course we want use sethesscope without sethesscope ...we can't able to identify cardiovascular ...

BDT k liye MDCAT karna parta hy??
If you are writing Dr , no one is stopping you ....
But as per court ruling , you cannot
So Better you should not....
Physiotherapists are more of therapists not medical doctors.
And also Indian Association of Physiotherapists is not a regulatory body to dictate the terms .
The regulatory body is Rehab council of India.
Physiotherapy profession is very important and gives life to a patient .
Only phd holder use Dr.... MBBS, bds, bams, bhms not eligible for Dr... Because they r graduate
Those use stethoscope n white apron who give prescriptions n guides about health called "doctor" by general public... In old days medical professionals even he is quacks... People gives lot of respect to medical practitioners in rural areas. Because lots of people were illiterate . Actually no medical University in India gives certificate to any medical graduates with "Dr" written on degree certificates in front of his name . Those has PhD degree should be called doctorate not doctor... Doctor means scholar .... Medical professionals are scholar people so society give respect to call medical graduates as " doctor". It's respect from society to medical professionals.
I respect every field either physiotherapist docter or mbbs docter every body is doing their job in brilliant way so God bless you all docters along with you God bless me to. Every body either physio aur mbbs doctor their doing the job of saving life's respect people's time if you want your time to be respected
Thanks it's very informative n excellent job. Am proud to be a physiotherapist

Best video for those medical professionals who always say we are not doctors.
Proud to be a Physio, Proud to be a Doctor.
Respect Each & Every Individual who is in the medical profession.
Excellent 😀
Don't you know? Different countries have desclimer about this law. Then why you guys are creating confusion. Only MBBS and BDS can use Dr. Before their name. You can search in the website also. Indian govt clearly mentioned it that physiotherapist are not doctor they are just technician.
only pharm.d or phD or doctorate degree in any subject is used dr prefix before his name.such as dm ,pharm.d,phD etc.
नाम के आगे डॉ० लगाना तो देखा जाए तो M.B.B.S के बाद M.D, M.S किए होते हैं जो वो भी नही लगा सकता,
बस Phd किये लोग लगा सकते ,,पर लगाते सब है एक दूसरे को देख के
Great sir
Like the video said The word “doctor” was derived from “teacher” or “scolar”. I believe being a “doctor” of a certain field means you underwent intensive studies and training to reach a certain mastery or expertise in that specific field. Example: MD means medical doctor, PhD is doctor of philosophy, DC is doctor of chiropractic, DPT is doctor of physical therapy.
To me this is just a matter of pride and jealousy. I am a PT currently taking up transitional DPT. Not to for the prestige of being a doctor but to gain more knowledge and credential. To sum it up, I dont care if people call me doctor or not, I want to be judged by my actions and by how my patients recover successfully from my treatment. And also by the salary I receive. Would you rather be called a doctor and earn less than be not recognized as a doctor but earn more? Haha just kidding.
Ok the solution I see is for professionals be adressed doctor of PT or doctor of acupuncture or doctor of chiropractic to be fair to you guys who are so proud and soo eager to be called DOCTORS
Hey Joe, Thanks for writing ! First of all, Its not about pride or jealousy...
So you are taking up the course 'DPT' and you said "Not for the prestige of being a doctor but to gain more knowledge and credential." What if somebody address/think you are a Diploma instead of Doctor of physical therapy? will you correct him/her or just ignore by thinking that "Salary is important" for me and not designation/title?
Titles/Designations are created based on education levels...and that automatically liable for some starting pay scale...by that, Half of the job done in terms of salary negotiation..rest half depends on ones talent /knowledge and experience..!
So its very very important one to fight for the justice, if ones degree is degraded in comparison with other degrees having same 'level of education' in same fraternity & in same society/nation ? I am speaking this at country level...!
If you see in India, whether Modern medicine or Alternate medicine "Graduates", came in before the Physio, all of them address themselves as "Doctors" even though their specific titles just like "Physiotherapist" are very much there...I don't blame them also...somewhere ..something went wrong or done deliberately....!!

Physiotherapy bachelor's degree along with Bachelor in Occupational therapy and Bachelor in Prosthetic and Orthotics are degree courses in same college as. Different courses. Can the later two degree holders be treated as doctors. Will our physiotherapist brother and sister s put some light on it.
im also a physiotherapist...,,,👏🏻🔥
I am Dr. Sushama physiothrapist
Sir, then are you saying that it's possible to put the title Dr. For bpt's?
Me also a bpt student. That's y am asking?
Dear Nabeel, the motive behind this video is to spread awareness in public about the usage or I would say correct usage of term "Doctor".
Yes you can, but do mention suffix PT, while writing and do mention your profession while addressing..for eg. say "Dr Nabeel .. and say I am a Physiotherapist" , we make sure we wont mislead and confuse the patient and public by just telling "Dr." or also not telling "Dr." But we shall use the term correctly...Hope I answer to your question!
You are the future of physiotherapy, Study well and make a difference... Patient see hope in us...please dont let them down and they are the real supporters for us tomorrow..just do your best ! Good luck!

" doctor " is respect to us from society . And no medical University offer u term" Dr ".. Those who is scholar in society.... Society give him honour..... Even PhD holder's are scholar in that subject... So University offer them "doctorate " so they can use " Dr ".. For respect.. Every one who do good work for society is" doctor ". Means" scholar ".

Ye saari links description me hi daal dete Dr. Abdul
Mr Abdul plz don't miss lead others physiotherapist are not doctor... Am not trying do degrade any profession but telling the fact.... Indian Bihar high court and also honorable supreme Court of was issued an order that physiotherapist cannot use Dr prefix of their name unless they didn't had a PhD...if someone is using like that its a criminal offence ........ Physiotherapist are therapist only they are in paramedical group bee proud in that ...only a Dr cannot heal a patient it's a team work..... If any one hurts sorry...........
If u can use doctors why not for Ayurvedic therapists they where also doing the same procedure like what u people doing............
Physiotherapy didn't comes in paramedical .paramedical means who works under the doctor .
I want to say that not fight our team all.dr. fight is gov. Why do difrrents 4yr1/2degrree nd other dont compare other degree he looks who is bennifit for patients only mmbs or physio one question my side what mmbbs paralize patient ya oprative pt. Kya thik kr skte hai tell me

Super dr.abdul.doubt is cleared
Associations are not the apex body in india to define syllabus and profession it's the council .. council is the apex authority to give prefix for every course ..like medical council of India like wise dental , nursing, pharmacy , ayurvedic etc ..only some courses have council in india through it only we can give legal backing to prefix Dr ... An association is just a group of same profession which formed under Indian act like society act .. it have no right to give .. like IMA ,DOPA etc as per my knowledge there was a case in sc judgement given by IMA regarding this Dr prefix of physiotherapy .
Some of legally authorised person to use Dr in india are:
MBBS
BAMS
Bhms
Bums
BDS
PharmD
Medical doctor uses Dr.. the above mentioned are legally binded to use this Dr
PhD holders uses this DR ..not Dr
