Why Do I Need a Sports Physical?
Just as professional athletes need medical care and attention to keep them in peak performance, so do young athletes. These important physical examinations provide an extensive medical check to ensure young athletes are as prepared for sports as professionals. The exam helps determine the personal safety of everyone's ability to participate in a specific sport, or physical activity in general. Most states mandate that all students must receive a physical before they can start a new sport or participate in a new season.
