Doing Physiotherapy degree online is flexible and give good theory knowledge but it have many limits because this field need hands on practice.

Online courses are easy and cheap but they don't teach important skills like checking patients or doing therapy. These things are better learn in hospitals or clinics which are must in Physiotherapy. So online study can help but it not enough alone for real work.

Yep, you can totally do an MSc in Psychology after finishing your Bachelor's in Physiotherapy. catch is, some colleges might ask you to take a few extra psych subjects first to qualify.
Best move? Check out specific MSc programs you're eyeing and hit up their admission teams to know exactly what they want from physio grads.

Physiotherapists are not nurses.

A physiotherapist is a person who check, find problem and also treat people with body issues, injuries or disability. 

But Nurses take care of patients in many way. They help with body, mind and even feelings. They give medicine, check vitals and also support patients under doctor guidance.

Yes in India if a physiotherapist has a DPT or a similar degree from a good college they can use "Dr." before their name. But rules can be a little different in each state.

Also they need to make sure people know they're physiotherapy doctors not medical doctors like MBBS or MD so nobody gets mixed up.
