If you mean, is it easier to perform the jobs of a physical therapist or a sports doctor, then the physical therapist will probably exert more muscles in the course of a day's work than a doctor would. Both have to carry liability insurance and the mental anguish associated with the need to have that insurance. It is easier and quicker to go to school to become a physical therapist than it is to become a licensed physician specializing in sports medicine. It is harder physically to be a physical therapist, but it is harder intellectually and educationally to be a physician- because you will have to go one of the MD (medical doctor), DC (chiropractor)or ND (naturopathic doctor)routes.
Doctor
No, a doctor of physical therapy is not a medical doctor, and cannot write prescriptions (medication, drugs, etc).
This might refer to a "physical exam" performed by a doctor. Schools usually require a "physical" before students are allowed to participate in sports. Sometimes students might need to have proof of a "physical" before they are admitted to a school as a student. This usually means that a doctor checks your whole body -- eyes, ears, mouth, throat, glands in your neck, back, arms, legs, hands, and feet; the doctor listens to the sounds in your heart and lungs by listening with a stethoscope. Sometimes a physical also involves checking your chest and genitals; sometimes the doctor asks you to give a sample of your blood and/or urine, which are examined at a laboratory. If you go to a private doctor, the doctor sends the results of the physical exam to the school. Some schools require that you go to certain doctors.
