How Do I Prepare For A Physical?

A good way to prepare your child (or yourself) for a school, camp or sports physical at American Family Care locations in Houston TX are to make sure that your child is wearing comfortable clothes to move around as needed. You and your child should also be ready to answer questions about your family medical history and personal health history. It is important to provide a detailed family medical history so that you can give your child’s examiner a complete picture of their health.

It is important that you mention any previous injuries or conditions, including when the injuries occurred, what treatments your child underwent, and which physician cared for your child. Your child should also be encouraged to be honest when giving their answers to questions during the exam. If athletes are scared they may not be cleared to play, they might be untruthful about their health and put themselves at risk of injury.

What Is A Sports Physical?

Additionally, anyone starting a new exercise routine or sport should always first discuss it with a healthcare professional, and sports physicals offer an easy way to do so.

It’s important to note that a sports physical does not take the place of a regular annual checkup or physical. While a sports physical does typically cover much of what happens during an annual physical or exam, it’s still important to schedule a separate annual checkup for your child to monitor milestones and address other areas not covered in a sports physical.
