At Skin & Body Bar Medical + Wellness Spa, located in historic Downtown Frankfort, IL, we provide thorough sports physicals, also known as athletic physicals, designed to ensure athletes are in optimal health before participating in any sports activity. These physicals are crucial for both amateur and professional athletes to ensure safety and readiness for the physical demands of sports.
Why are Sports Physicals Necessary?
Sports physicals, or pre-participation physical examinations (PPE), are essential to determine whether an individual is fit enough to safely engage in sports. These exams help minimize the risk of sports-related injuries by identifying any potential health issues that could make physical activity dangerous. At Skin & Body Bar, our goal is to ensure every athlete can perform at their best without risking their health.
What to Expect During a Sports Physical in Skin & Body Bar
Our comprehensive sports physicals are tailored to assess the specific needs and risks associated with different types of sports. Here’s what athletes can expect during their visit:
- Medical History Review: We start by reviewing the athlete’s medical history, including previous injuries, ongoing health conditions, and any medications that might affect their physical performance.
- Physical Examination: The physical exam includes evaluating the athlete’s height, weight, vision, and blood pressure. We also assess heart health, lung function, muscle strength, joint flexibility, and overall physical fitness.
- Fitness Assessment: Specific tests may be conducted to evaluate the athlete’s endurance, strength, and agility based on the sport they will participate in.
Ensuring Comprehensive Care for Frankfurt Sports
Following the physical assessment, our medical professionals provide detailed feedback and advice. If any issues are identified that could affect the athlete’s ability to participate safely in sports, we will discuss the next steps, which may include further testing, treatment plans, or specific conditioning programs to address these concerns.
Easy and Accessible Physicals for Athletes
We understand the busy schedules of athletes and strive to make our sports physicals as accessible and convenient as possible. Skin & Body Bar offers flexible scheduling, including same-day appointments, to accommodate training schedules and ensure athletes are cleared for participation without delay.
