What to Expect During the Physical

Physical Examination

Vision Exam

These exams assess their visual acuity, or sharpness of vision, to determine if they need corrective lenses or an adjustment to their current prescription. Through standard eye exam procedures, which may include reading charts, tests for near and farsightedness, and evaluations of eye focusing and coordination, the doctor can ensure your child sees clearly and comfortably.

Vitals Check

A vital check reviews key health indicators, like pulse and blood pressure, to ensure they fall within normal ranges. This check typically includes taking their height and weight measurements as well. Monitoring these growth factors is crucial because significant changes can impact your child's developing joints, muscles, and bones.

Mobility & Flexibility Evaluation

A mobility and flexibility evaluation is a comprehensive assessment designed to review your overall musculoskeletal health. This includes examining your flexibility, joint health, posture, and strength. Through a series of tests, the check aims to identify areas that might be more susceptible to injury.

Health & Fitness Assessment

A provider will examine your child’s ears, nose, throat, abdomen, heart, and lungs, to assess their overall fitness and identify any potential health concerns early on. This includes a specific focus on the cardiovascular system to determine if they have any potential limitations during physical activities.

Medical History Review

Understanding your child’s medical history is crucial. This review provides insight into any previous or ongoing health issues that could impact their ability to safely engage in sports and other physical activities. Please be prepared to discuss the following during your child’s appointment:

• Weight history: Any significant weight loss or gain.
• Medications: A list of all medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements.
• Immunization records: Dates and types of vaccines received.
• Allergies: Details about any allergic reactions.
• Past hospitalizations or surgeries: Including the reasons and dates.
• Vision and dental aids: Information on contact lenses, dental appliances, or orthotics.
• Family medical history: Including any exercise or sports-related deaths.
• Personal medical history: Previous or current illnesses, injuries, or conditions.
• Exercise-related symptoms: Instances of dizziness, chest pain, heat illness, or breathing difficulties during exercise.

Sports and camp physicals are critical in identifying any health issues that could prevent injuries and complications during physical activities. By ensuring your child is fit and healthy, we help them enjoy their sports and camp experiences to the fullest.
