At Make You Well in Colleyville, we specialize in conducting comprehensive sports physicals to assess young athletes’ readiness and physical fitness for participation in various sports. Our evaluations cover various sports at every age level, including football, basketball, volleyball, swimming, and track and field, ensuring your young athlete is fully prepared to compete safely and effectively.

The evaluation process at Make You Well is thorough, beginning with a review of the athlete’s medical history. Our healthcare providers will measure weight and height, assess blood pressure and pulse, conduct vision tests, and evaluate the heart, lungs, endoskeletal system, including bones, muscles, and joints. The examination also includes inquiries about the athlete’s diet and overall health to determine their fitness for sports participation. Specific questions may be directed towards boys regarding testicular pain and girls about menstrual cycles, aiming to identify any potential issues. Furthermore, discussions about lifestyle habits such as smoking, vaping, drug use, diet pills, or the use of performance-enhancing substances, including steroids, are part of the assessment.

The importance of sports physicals at Make You Well lies in identifying health conditions that could hinder an athlete’s performance or increase the risk of injuries during sports activities. For instance, our providers can prescribe appropriate medication for athletes with asthma to facilitate easier breathing during physical exertion, ensuring that each athlete can participate safely and to the best of their ability.
