What to Expect With a Sports Physical at Cape Regional Urgent Care
When you visit our walk-in clinic for a sports physical, you’ll experience a short, pleasant wait in our clean and modern reception area, then consult with a board-certified doctor in one of our private exam rooms. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to drive health concerns, we ask that all of our patients and visitors wear a mask when entering our clinics and follow our instructions for social distancing. If your child or teen receives a physical exam form from your coach or teacher, make sure you bring it with you when you visit. You’ll also want to be ready to discuss any existing health conditions, prior injuries, and family medical history with your doctor. Additionally, your doctor will:
- Conduct a physical exam that includes checking your child’s pulse, breathing, blood pressure, reflexes, posture, body strength, and flexibility
- Check your child’s vision, so you’ll want to bring his or her glasses or contact lenses if applicable
- Ask about over-the-counter or prescription medications, including the dosage, that your child takes
- Fill out and sign your sports physical form, indicating whether your child is all clear to participate, can participate with restrictions, or needs to seek testing or medical treatment before joining the program
