While a BPT graduate can competently manage a wide range of cases, an MPT-qualified physiotherapist brings specialist-level knowledge to the table — whether it is in neurological rehabilitation after a stroke, musculoskeletal management of complex sports injuries, or cardiopulmonary recovery following cardiac surgery. In an increasingly specialised healthcare environment, this depth of expertise is both rare and highly valued. At Santosh College of Physiotherapy,...
