One of the essential services we offer is the sports physical, also known as the pre-participation physical examination (PPE).

A sports physical is much more than just a formality; it is a thorough medical evaluation designed to ensure that an individual can safely enjoy athletic activities. Dr. Tur’s team takes the time to review each patient’s complete medical history—including previous illnesses, injuries, allergies, medications, and family history of heart disease or other serious conditions. This careful approach helps us identify any potential health concerns that could put athletes at risk during sports participation.

During your visit, a healthcare provider will perform a comprehensive physical examination. This includes checking vital signs (such as blood pressure and heart rate), evaluating heart and lung function, assessing vision, and carefully examining the muscles and joints for strength, flexibility, and overall joint health. If specific concerns arise, Dr. Tur may recommend further tests or provide additional guidance.

Review of Medical History
Your visit will begin with a conversation about your personal and family medical history. We will ask about any previous illnesses, injuries, allergies, or chronic conditions such as asthma or heart issues. We’ll also discuss any medications you’re currently taking, past hospitalizations, and whether you’ve ever experienced symptoms like chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath during exercise.

Comprehensive Physical Assessment
We will then conduct a physical examination, which includes checking your height, weight, and blood pressure. Using a stethoscope, she’ll listen closely to your heart and lungs to make sure everything sounds healthy. We may also assess your vision and hearing.

A key part of the exam is a musculoskeletal evaluation, where we will check your strength, flexibility, joints, and posture. This helps identify any areas that might be prone to injury or need special attention. If you have a history of injuries like concussions, sprains, or broken bones, Dr. Tur will pay special attention to those areas to ensure they have fully healed.
