    Because we are NOT doctors.
    Quite happy being a PHYSIOTHERAPIST thank you very much - worked hard to get here and am proud of my title!
    Besides, look at the likes of 'Dr' Gillian McKieth (you are what you eat) - turns out she wasn't a doctor at all. By referring to us as physio's or specifically chartered physio's there can be no doubt as to our qualifications!

    Re: why don't we called doctors ?

    hello very one, in view of the above discussion i would like to say. i am proud to call myself as physiotherapist and not doctor, It doest not matter whether we call over self Dr, or physio, its about the work or profession, its more respectable and respect comes from that, the patient them-self well realise dat after the service we provide,
