This information isn't right. Canada used to have a 4 year bachelors degree for physiotherapy, but it is now a 26 month Masters program (on top of your 4 year bachelors with a bunch of pre reqs). They are also attempting to make it a doctorate now.
Chiropractors (in Canada) require a 4 year bachelors degree and then it's a 4 year program that's structured like a bachelors.
They essentially have the same amount of schooling because the physio Masters is basically zero breaks, all year round, with clinical placements. You also need like a year+ schooling extra for acupuncture. Chiropractors have the same amount of schooling, just spread out for breaks over 4 years (if I'm not mistaken).
It doesn't matter how much schooling they have, the practice is fundamentally flawed.
