Protect Your Athlete Before the Season Starts
A sport physical — also called a pre-participation physical examination (PPE) — is more than a formality. It's a critical opportunity to identify musculoskeletal conditions, past injuries, or health concerns that could put an athlete at risk. Our orthopedic-focused exams go beyond the basics to ensure your athlete is truly cleared to compete.

What We Check During Your Sport Physical
Our orthopedic sport physical exams are designed to assess the whole athlete — from past injuries to current fitness — so every student or adult athlete can participate safely.
Musculoskeletal Screening
We evaluate joints, muscles, and flexibility to identify any structural vulnerabilities or previous injuries that could affect safe participation. This helps us flag areas of concern before they become serious problems on the field.
Injury History Review
We review past injuries, surgeries, and chronic conditions to understand your athlete's history. Prior sprains, fractures, or concussions can affect current readiness and require special attention before clearance.

Cardiovascular Assessment
Heart and lung health are evaluated to screen for conditions that may increase risk during intense athletic activity. We check resting heart rate, blood pressure, and listen for any cardiac irregularities that warrant further evaluation.

Concussion & Neurological Screening
We assess concussion history, vision, balance, and neurological function. Athletes with a history of head injuries need careful evaluation to ensure full recovery before returning to contact or high-impact sports.

Flexibility & Strength Evaluation
Range of motion and muscle strength are tested to identify imbalances or limitations that increase injury risk. We provide targeted recommendations to address any deficits before the athlete begins their sport season.

Medical Clearance & Recommendations
At the conclusion of your exam, we provide official clearance documentation and personalized recommendations. If any concerns are identified, we'll outline next steps — whether that's follow-up imaging, specialist referral, or a modified return-to-play plan.
