Sports Season with Lavender Healthcare & Wellness

Most schools and sports teams require children to undergo a physical before the new school year starts. These exams ensure children are healthy and fit for school or sports activities.

If the school year is approaching and you haven’t had time to schedule an appointment with your regular pediatrician, don’t worry! At Lavender Healthcare, we offer convenient walk-in sports and school physicals.


The Importance of Sports Physicals

Physical activity is excellent for children, but assessing their health is crucial to prevent serious injuries. One key aspect of sports physicals is examining heart strength. Some children may have undetected heart conditions that could be triggered by strenuous activity. Our comprehensive exams include heart screenings to help prevent potential issues.

Our physicians also provide tips to prevent injuries, including stretches and exercises to perform before physical activity.

Childhood is a time of rapid growth and development. An annual school and sports physical is an opportunity to monitor your child’s progress and catch up on any missed vaccinations. Many schools have mandatory vaccination requirements for enrollment.

Get ready for the new school year with Lavender Healthcare & Wellness—your partner in ensuring your child’s health and safety.
