How Do I Prepare For a Physical?
A good way to prepare your child (or yourself) for a school, camp or sports physical at Hunt Club Pediatrics Urgent Care offices is 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 family medical history so that you can give your child’s examiner a complete picture of their health.
What Is a Sports Physical?
A sports physical at Hunt Club Pediatrics Urgent Care helps determine whether or not a child (or adult) can physically participate in a sport safely. 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.
