Arranging a school sport physical examination can be a challenge for families juggling busy schedules. To address this issue we provided a solution with our concierge in-home sports physical examination services, offering time-saving and hassle-free options.
These convenient sports physicals deliver the same benefits as traditional clinic exams, yet with the added advantage of being conducted in the comfort of your home.
What Is a Sports Physical?
A sports physical, also referred to as a preparticipation physical evaluation (PPE), is a crucial assessment to determine your child's readiness to participate safely in your chosen sport. While many states mandate students to undergo a sports physical before engaging in school sports, or extracurricular sports, primary care providers often recommend it even when not obligatory, particularly if your children are active in sports.
Why Is Sports Physical Examination Important?
A sports physical examination can help find out about and deal with health problems that might interfere with your child’s sports performance or increase the chance of getting hurt.
​
The sports physical consists of two main components: the medical history and the physical examination. Let's take a look at what to expect:
Medical History
The medical history questionnaire covers various aspects including:
-
Family medical history, such as hereditary medical issues
-
Personal medical conditions like asthma, diabetes, previous hospitalizations, allergies, past injuries, and episodes of dizziness or chest pain during exercise
-
Medications and supplements, including over-the-counter and prescription drugs
-
Specific inquiries for boys about testicle pain and for girls about menstrual cycles, as well as questions regarding habits like smoking, vaping, alcohol, drug use, and dietary supplements
Physical Examination
During the physical exam, the provider typically performs the following:
-
Recording height and weight
-
Checking blood pressure, pulse, and vision
-
Examining the heart, lungs, muscles, bones, and joints
This appointment also provides an opportunity for you to ask questions about your health, diet, and participation in sports.
Furthermore, it's important to differentiate between school sports physicals and other types of physical examinations. Verify with your child's school, sports or extracurricular program the specific requirements for participation in sports activities.
Where Can I Get a Sports Physical Exam?
Many parents opt for a visit to their primary care provider's office or a clinic for their child's sports physical examination. During such visits, a qualified healthcare provider, such as a doctor or nurse practitioner, conducts the examination.
​
While the traditional clinic visit ensures that your child is healthy and prepared for sports, it can pose challenges for families with multiple children, particularly when each child requires a separate appointment.
​
For busy families seeking a time-saving solution, concierge home sports physical offers a valuable option. Examinations can be conducted for multiple children in the comfort of your own home. You will be offered convenience and personalized care providing an opportunity to discuss any questions or concerns about your child's health in a personalized setting.
Summary

Additionally, concierge primary care providers offer increased flexibility in their schedules, eliminating the need to wait in long lines at clinics or medical facilities. Helps families with time constraints.
The advantage of having a primary care provider conduct the examination at home allows parents to oversee the process, ensuring it is thorough and well-documented. This not only streamlines the experience but also enhances the child's comfort throughout the examination. Undergoing an in-home sport physical examination can help alleviate stress and time constraints. With an in-home sports physical, parents can confidently ensure their child is both prepared and healthy for their sports season.
