Prepare for the big game with a sports physical

Sports physicals from Germantown Primary Care in Germantown, MD and Montgomery County will keep your kids healthy for the upcoming fall sports season. Sports are a fun way for kids to make sure they get at least an hour of physical activity necessary for optimal health.

Sports physicals ensure that your child is in good shape to play any game. Ball playing may seem like second nature to your children, a short visit to Germantown Primary Care ensures that your child’s body is ready for the work that accompanies their sport.

Appointments for sports physicals should be done about 6 weeks before the season, so plan ahead to schedule a time with a Germantown Primary Care doctor in Germantown, MD and Montgomery County.  

What to anticipate for the exam

Plan to discuss your child’s medical history. This includes behavior issues, surgeries, and injuries. Dr. Manbir Takhar and her staff at Germantown Primary Care will determine that your child’s body is capable of handling whatever sport he or she decides to play. Dr. Takhar will also discuss family medical history. Genetics determine how our bodies perform under pressure, so family history becomes a vital tool. Sports physicals aren’t just for children. If you’ve decided to begin a new exercise routine make an appointment with a skilled primary care doctor before you begin.
