Ensure your child's health and safety with a thorough exam
A School Sports Physical, also known as a Pre-Participation Physical Examination (PPE), is a comprehensive health evaluation required for students who wish to participate in school sports or other physical activities. The purpose of this exam is to ensure that your child is healthy and fit to engage in sports safely, identifying any potential health issues that could put them at risk during physical activities. School Sports Physicals are typically required by schools before a student can join a sports team, ensuring that young athletes are ready to play.
The School Sports Physical is a straightforward process designed to assess your child’s overall health, fitness level, and ability to participate in sports. Here’s what you can expect during the exam:
Medical History Review: The exam begins with a discussion of your child’s medical history, including any previous injuries, illnesses, surgeries, or chronic conditions. We’ll also review any medications your child is currently taking and any known allergies.
Vital Signs Check: We’ll measure your child’s height, weight, blood pressure, and heart rate to establish a baseline of their overall health.
Vision and Hearing Screening: We assess your child’s vision and hearing to ensure they meet the necessary standards for safe participation in sports.
Physical Examination: This includes a thorough examination of your child’s heart, lungs, abdomen, and musculoskeletal system. We check for any signs of injury, weakness, or abnormalities that could impact their ability to play sports safely. Flexibility, strength, and joint stability are also evaluated to prevent future injuries.
Assessment and Recommendations: If any concerns are identified, our healthcare provider will discuss them with you and recommend further testing, treatment, or precautions as needed. If your child is healthy and cleared to participate, we’ll complete and sign the required forms for school sports participation.
