MedExpress Urgent Care is helping young athletes prepare for the fall sports season with the gift of free sports physicals, available July 1 – August 7, for patients ages 6 and up. Free sports physicals are being offered at all MedExpress locations in Texas. MedExpress Urgent Care is open every day from 8 am to 8 pm, with no appointment necessary. Local athletes and families can walk in at a time that works best for them to receive their free sports physical.
The time to prepare for the fall sports season is in the summer. Most sports organizations require that a sports physical be completed prior to the first practice. A sports physical is an important step toward making sure young athletes are ready for the activities ahead. Sports physicals raise awareness of any issues that may interfere with a child’s ability to participate in a sport safely. Healthcare professionals at MedExpress will check the athlete’s vitals, including pulse and blood pressure, as well as height and weight. Sports physicals include a brief eye exam, a review of the athlete’s medical history, and a fitness check that examines the body for areas that might be prone to injury, such as joints. Parents are encouraged to bring a list of medications, recent illnesses, surgeries, or conditions, such as asthma. Parents should also bring any applicable sports physical forms provided by a sports organization.
