No BPT people can't do surgery. BPT course is mostly about non-invasive ways, physical therapy, exercises, and other ways to help patients get better, move well, reduce pain, and make body work good.
Physiotherapists don't have license for surgery. Surgery is done by doctors, especially surgeons who learn special training for surgery.
