Sports Physicals are extremely important when your child is about to embark on the adventure of team, school, or community sports. A physical will help ensure that your child is physically capable of meeting the expectations that will be required of them in the sport they choose to play. Without a physical, your child could run the risk of having a medical issue such as fractures and lung functioning issues like asthma. If your child has suffered a concussion in the past from a sports injury, it is crucial to see if their cognitive functioning is meeting the needs to play the next sport. Without this physical, your child could exasperate a condition even further. This can cause more significant medical concerns for your child. Ultimately, the sports physical is to keep your child safe.
