Sports Physicals
Primary Care
At Anita Healthcare Inc., we provide comprehensive sports physicals designed to evaluate overall health, detect risks, and ensure athletes are ready to perform safely. From students to adults, our exams help protect against injury and support long-term wellness.
What Are Sports Physicals?
Sports physicals, also called pre-participation physical exams (PPEs), are medical evaluations required by many schools and organizations. They assess an athlete’s health history, fitness level, and risk factors to determine readiness for safe participation in sports.
How Sports Physicals Work
During your sports physical, we review your medical history, conduct a physical exam, check vital signs, and evaluate strength, flexibility, and endurance. We also address existing conditions such as asthma, allergies, or past injuries, and provide clearance or recommendations for safe play.
Conditions and Concerns Addressed in Sports Physicals
Sports physicals help detect or monitor issues that could impact safe participation, including:
