Sports Physicals
Oregon law mandates that
student-athletes in grades 7-12 undergo a physical examination every two years. These physicals are crucial for
identifying any underlying health conditions that could impact their ability to participate safely in sports.
Additionally, high-risk sports such as football, soccer, basketball, and wrestling may require annual physicals
due to the increased likelihood of injury.
Camp Physicals
Many camps and recreational sports leagues require a physical exam before participation. Whether your child is
joining a sports camp with Tualatin
Hills Parks & Recreation, a local Soccer Shots program, or going to summer camp at Trackers Earth Portland, we’re here to help. Our camp physicals ensure your child is in
optimal health and ready for their adventures.
We strive to be your trusted, local healthcare partner, providing the necessary physicals to keep your child safe
and healthy. Contact us today to schedule an
appointment for your child's sports or camp physical.
What to Expect During the Physical
Physical Examination
Vision Exam
These exams assess their visual acuity, or sharpness of vision, to determine if they need corrective lenses or an
adjustment to their current prescription. Through standard eye exam procedures, which may include reading
charts, tests for near and farsightedness, and evaluations of eye focusing and coordination, the doctor can
ensure your child sees clearly and comfortably.
Vitals Check
A vital check reviews key health indicators, like pulse and blood pressure, to ensure they fall within normal
ranges. This check typically includes taking their height and weight measurements as well. Monitoring these
growth factors is crucial because significant changes can impact your child's developing joints, muscles, and
bones.
Mobility & Flexibility Evaluation
A mobility and flexibility evaluation is a comprehensive assessment designed to review your overall
musculoskeletal health. This includes examining your flexibility, joint health, posture, and strength. Through a
series of tests, the check aims to identify areas that might be more susceptible to injury.
Health & Fitness Assessment
A provider will examine your child’s ears, nose, throat, abdomen, heart, and lungs, to assess their overall
fitness and identify any potential health concerns early on. This includes a specific focus on the
cardiovascular system to determine if they have any potential limitations during physical activities.
Medical History Review
Understanding your child’s medical history is crucial. This review provides insight into any previous or ongoing
health issues that could impact their ability to safely engage in sports and other physical activities. Please
be prepared to discuss the following during your child’s appointment:
- Weight history: Any significant weight loss or gain.
- Medications: A list of all medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and
supplements.
- Immunization records: Dates and types of vaccines received.
- Allergies: Details about any allergic reactions.
- Past hospitalizations or surgeries: Including the reasons and dates.
- Vision and dental aids: Information on contact lenses, dental appliances, or orthotics.
- Family medical history: Including any exercise or sports-related deaths.
- Personal medical history: Previous or current illnesses, injuries, or conditions.
- Exercise-related symptoms: Instances of dizziness, chest pain, heat illness, or breathing
difficulties during exercise.
Sports and camp physicals are critical in identifying any health issues that could prevent injuries and
complications during physical activities. By ensuring your child is fit and healthy, we help them enjoy their
sports and camp experiences to the fullest.
