Sports Physical
What is Sports Physical?
A Sports Physical is a health exam that is performed before someone engages in sports and other physical activity.
Getting a physical before you or your kids start playing a sport is one of the essential steps in determining whether or not it’s safe to play. Similarly to annual physicals, sports physicals may differ from doctor to doctor; however, they generally begin with a discussion of your medical history including illnesses, allergies, medications, or past injuries.
Your physician will observe your physical appearance but will focus on your well-being as it relates to your sport, including evaluating your posture, joints, strength, and flexibility. Even if a physical isn’t required, it’s highly recommended that you still schedule a sports physical.

Great service, my visit was quick and simple. The process on entering the facility as far as safety was one of the best processes I’ve ever witnessed. The doctor and her staff were extremely professional and went through my physical in a timely manner.
