What the visit reviews
A sports physical typically includes medical history, prior injuries, medications, heart and breathing symptoms, family history, vital signs, and a focused exam. The goal is to identify concerns that may need follow-up before participation.
Why sports medicine training helps
A sports medicine physician can also discuss injury prevention, conditioning, return-to-play concerns, and sport-specific risks. This makes the visit more useful than simply completing a form.
What to bring
- School or league physical form
- Medication list and relevant medical history
- Information about prior injuries, concussions, or surgeries
- Glasses, contacts, or braces if used during sport
When to schedule
Schedule before the season deadline, especially if the athlete has a history of concussion, chest symptoms, fainting, asthma, or a recent injury.
