Get a Physical Without the Wait!
School, sports and camp physicals are often required to ensure participants are in good health. They're usually straightforward exams that assess a patient's overall health and wellness.
If you need a sports, school, or camp physical, come and see us at Central Florida Pediatric Urgent Care. Please give us a call to make an appointment so you can get the physical you need.
How Do I Prepare For a Physical?
A good way to prepare your child (or yourself) for a school, camp or sports physical at Central Florida Pediatric Urgent Care 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 Central Florida Pediatric 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.
What Happens At A Sports Physical?
The physical examination at Central Florida Pediatric Urgent Care is similar to an annual checkup but with some added things related to playing sports. We focus on the health of your lungs, heart, bones, and joints, and may check some or all of the following:
Height & Weight
Measure height and weight as part of the standard exam.
Blood Pressure & Pulse
Measure blood pressure and pulse to check cardiovascular health.
Vision Test
Test vision to identify any visual concerns.
Heart, Lungs & Belly
Check heart, lungs, belly, ears, nose, and throat.
Joints & Flexibility
Check joints, strength, flexibility, and posture.
If your child requires a school, camp or sports physical, come to Central Florida Pediatric Urgent Care. We are very experienced in these types of physicals and can help you and your child get where you are going!
