Stay game-ready with a sports physical
Sports physicals are health evaluations that assess your physical fitness for athletic participation. The goal is to ensure you are healthy enough to safely engage in sports and prevent injury. During the exam, your healthcare provider will check vital signs, evaluate your cardiovascular health, and assess your musculoskeletal system. Sports physicals also include a review of your medical history, focusing on any past injuries or conditions that may impact your performance.
Sports Physicals for peak performance
A sports physical typically includes a series of assessments, starting with a detailed review of your medical history and any previous injuries. The doctor will check your heart, lungs, vision, and overall physical condition, including strength and flexibility. Specific tests may be done depending on the sport you play.
