What happens during a physical?

During your child’s physical, the Pediatric Care of Four Corners team takes time to review their personal and family medical history, any existing health conditions, and any new symptoms or concerns you have about your child.
As part of the physical exam, the team notes important information about your child’s:

    Height.
    Weight.
    Heart rate.
    Blood pressure.
    Body temperature.

The team also evaluates your child’s reflexes, muscle strength, and other factors that relate to a specific sport or activity to ensure they are fully able to participate. If your child has an existing health condition, the Pediatric Care of Four Corners team ensures current treatments are working properly and that the illness or disease won’t interfere with safe participation in sports or other activities.

Providing your child’s condition is well-managed and their ability to safely engage in activities is evident, existing health conditions won’t necessarily prevent them from registering for an activity or sport.

However, in some cases, the medical team may recommend that some activities aren’t safe for children with certain underlying health issues.

What are the benefits of a physical?

Children's clinic

A physical exam is often required by organized activities. However, even when they aren’t required, it’s a good idea to schedule a regular physical for your child.
Through a complete physical, the Pediatric Care of Four Corners medical team can identify early warning signs of underlying health problems that may go unnoticed until it’s too late.
Physical exam appointments are also a great time for the team to discuss risks of certain activities in an age-appropriate way, such as the use of illegal or performance-enhancing drugs and negative peer pressure.
