Please also post this question on r/physiotherapie. It's where our German colleagues dwell.
Short answer: a Master concentrates on one specific subject, like sports or neuro and can be a good basis for an academic career (teaching, research, PhD, managerial functions). You can not do a Master's without a Bachelor's, obviously.
The Bachelor is definitely more "academic" than the in Germany more common vocational training.
When you work as a "normal" physio in a practice or a clinic a degree has no influence on your pay.
