During the physical exam, our medical professional checks your height, weight, blood pressure, pulse, vision, heart, lungs, abdomen, ears, nose and throat. In addition, the provider will assess your strength, flexibility, joints and posture.
You and the provider may also discuss bodily changes, drug and alcohol use, dietary supplements and any other points you would like to cover.
If an issue is uncovered during a sports physical, the attending medical professional will refer the student athlete to a primary care provider or specialist, depending on the need.
