Children's Physicals for School, Sports, and Band

What is the Purpose of a Children's School Physical?

A children's school physical is a comprehensive physical examination that is performed to assess a child's physical health and development prior to beginning school. During the physical, Dr. McElya will review the child's medical history, conduct a thorough physical exam, and assess the child's growth, vision, hearing, nutrition, and general health. This will help ensure that the child is physically capable of handling the academic, physical, and social demands of school.

What is the Purpose of a Children's Sports and Band Physical?

Both sports and band physicals for children are designed to ensure the child is physically able to safely and effectively participate in a given activity. During both physicals, Dr. McElya may review the child's medical history and conduct a physical exam, as well as a mental health screening.

Additional tests may also be performed depending on the child's age and the activity or sport being played. Such tests may include:

  • Vision and hearing screening
  • Strength and flexibility tests 
  • Endurance tests

How Does a School Physical Work?

During a children's school physical, Dr. McElya will conduct a series of tests and assessments to ensure that a child is physically and mentally prepared for school. These tests include a vision test, hearing test, and general physical exam.

In addition, Dr. McElya may also measure the child's height, weight, and body mass index to assess their growth. He may also ask questions related to the child's medical history and wellness to further assess their overall physical and mental health.
