Q: Is exercise physiology covered by Medicare?
Yes, exercise physiology is covered by Medicare for eligible patients.

Q: How is exercise physiology different from physiotherapy?
While both exercise physiologists and physiotherapists work to improve physical health, exercise physiology focuses on designing exercise programs for chronic disease management and fitness improvement.
