At Still Waters Family Healthcare, we understand how important it is for students and athletes to stay healthy and active.

Our physicals are designed to meet all state and school requirements, helping your child perform at their best while staying safe.
Why Are School and Sports Physicals Important?
School and sports physicals are crucial for identifying any underlying health conditions that could affect your child’s academic or athletic performance. Whether your child is preparing for a new sports season or needs a general health check-up for school, these exams are essential for:
- Preventing Injuries: A thorough examination can detect potential issues such as joint or muscle weaknesses that could lead to injury during sports.
- Ensuring Physical Readiness: The physical assesses your child’s overall health, including heart rate, blood pressure, vision, and musculoskeletal health, ensuring they’re physically prepared for the demands of school or sports.
- Meeting School and Sports League Requirements: Many schools and sports teams require a physical exam before participation to ensure that students are healthy enough to take part in activities.
What to Expect During a School/Sports Physical
Our experienced healthcare providers at Still Waters Family Healthcare will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to assess your child’s overall health. This typically includes:
- Medical History Review: We’ll discuss any past injuries, illnesses, surgeries, or chronic conditions like asthma or diabetes. Understanding your child’s medical history helps us provide the best care possible.
- Physical Examination: We’ll check your child’s height, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, lungs, and vision. We will also assess flexibility, strength, and posture to identify any areas of concern.
- Sports-Specific Evaluation: If your child participates in sports, we’ll focus on the areas of the body that are most likely to be stressed during their chosen activity. This can help prevent injuries and ensure they’re ready for the season.
