Sports Physical Exam at Bryan Family Practice

A Sports Physical Exam, also known as a pre-participation physical examination (PPE), is a medical assessment conducted before an individual participates in sports or physical activities. It helps determine if the athlete is in good health and physically prepared for the demands of their chosen activity.

During your physical exam, you can expect the following components:

Health Assessment: During a Sports Physical Exam, our medical team reviews your medical history, including any past injuries, chronic conditions, or allergies. This information helps us understand your unique health needs.

Physical Examination: A thorough physical examination is performed to evaluate your overall health, including cardiovascular fitness, joint flexibility, muscle strength, and range of motion.

Medical Clearance: Based on the assessment, our healthcare providers determine if you are medically cleared to participate in your chosen sport. If any health concerns are identified, appropriate recommendations and precautions are provided.

Injury Prevention: We offer guidance on injury prevention strategies, proper warm-up techniques, and the use of protective gear to minimize the risk of sports-related injuries.

Chronic Conditions Management: Athletes with chronic conditions, such as asthma or allergies, receive personalized management plans to ensure their safety and well-being during sports activities.
