Sports Physicals

Playing sports is a great way to stay physically and mentally fit. If you or your kids are registering for basketball, soccer, or another organized sport, you can schedule sports physicals at Beeline Health. Call the Jacksonville, Texas, office today to schedule sports physicals for your family.

What are sports physicals?

A sports physical is a preventive screening to ensure you’re healthy and capable of participating in sports. A sports physical identifies health challenges or other limitations that can interfere with training for a certain sport or participating in athletic activities.

Beeline Health offers comprehensive sports physicals for adults and children that meet the requirements of schools, recreational teams, and other organizations.

When should I schedule sports physicals?

Schedule a sports physical at Beeline Health before registering yourself or your child for a sport, even if it’s not required by the organization.

A physical gives you peace of mind that you’re healthy enough to engage in the activities of a certain sport. 

Schedule a physical early, so Beryl has time to evaluate your wellness and provide the medical documentation you need for registration. Early scheduling also ensures you have extra time to address any medical problems that interfere with the results of your physical.

What happens during sports physicals?

During your sports physical at Beeline Health, Beryl reviews your medical history and current health. She asks questions about your lifestyle, diet, and the sport you want to play.

Your physical exam includes an in-depth assessment of your vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, and lung function. Beryl also tests your muscle strength and joint flexibility. 

If you have preexisting conditions like asthma that can affect your ability to participate in high-impact activities, Beryl may request lung function tests or other diagnostics. She also reviews the treatments you use to control underlying health conditions.

When your physical is complete, Beryl may recommend diet changes, or give exercise recommendations. 

Call Beeline Health today to schedule sports physicals for yourself or your family. You can also book an appointment online.
