The Benefits of an Annual Sports Physical
Annual sports physicals ensure your child is healthy enough for athletic competition. During the exam, our health care team will perform an exam to identify potential health risks that may restrict or prohibit your son or daughter’s ability to safely participate in athletics. Such conditions may include a previous bone, joint, or muscle strain or sprain, a previous concussion, or a previously undiagnosed chronic health condition such as asthma or a bleeding disorder. Sports physicals also give you and your child a dedicated and safe setting to discuss health risk and concerns with our team before heading back to school and deciding what sports to pursue throughout the year.
