School, Sport, and Camp Physicals

Sports and Camp Physicals Importance and Components

A sports physical, also referred to as a school physical or pre-participation physical exam (PPE), is essential for evaluating your child’s readiness and safety in sports or activities. These exams are typically required before starting a new sport, season, or participating in extracurricular activities. They play a crucial role in ensuring your child’s well-being and fitness for the specific activity.

During the physical exam, we conduct a comprehensive assessment, including a medical history review and a physical examination. The medical history review covers prior illnesses, allergies, injuries, family medical history, and medications your child takes regularly. It’s important to inform us about any incidents of passing out, dizziness, or chest pain during physical activity. This information helps us tailor our recommendations and provide personalized care to support your child’s safe participation in sports or camp activities.
