EXPERIENCED PEDIATRIC TEAM

YOU CAN TRUST

Your child is excited about the season — and the last thing you want is a missing physical holding them

back from playing. But a sports pre-participation exam is more than just a school requirement. It's a

head-to-toe check that makes sure your child is truly ready for the physical demands of their sport —

catching anything that could put them at risk before it becomes a real problem on the field. At Fairway

Children's Medical Group, Dr. Jackyln Chan and our team take this exam seriously, because your child's

safety on the field matters just as much as their performance.

We go beyond checking the boxes. During the exam, we assess everything — heart and respiratory

health, joint strength, posture, flexibility, vision, and mental health — so nothing gets missed. If we spot

something that needs follow-up, we'll tell you exactly what it means and what to do next. Whether your

child is playing baseball, football, soccer, or track, we want them out there doing what they love — safely

and confidently. Book their sports physical at Fairway today, and let's get them game-ready.

What sets us apart

A Thorough Exam That Goes Way

Beyond a Signature

We don't just fill out forms. Our

sports physicals include a full

assessment of your child's

cardiovascular health,

musculoskeletal strength, vision,

and mental health — so they're

truly cleared to play, not just

cleared on paper.

We Catch What Could Sideline

Them Before It Does

From undetected heart conditions

to joint issues and injury risks, we

look for the things that could

become serious problems mid-

season — and address them before

your child ever hits the field.

School and Sports Forms

Handled In One Visit

Whether it's a school

requirement, a league form, or a

sport-specific physical — we

handle all the paperwork in one

convenient appointment so you're

not running around at the last

minute before tryouts.

Physical Exams Q&A

What is a physical exam?

Your child doesn't need to be sick or suffer from any symptoms for you to schedule a physical exam. They may need a physical when starting the school year or enrolling in a sport.

Your child may need a pre-participation physical examination (PPE) when starting school sports. A PPE makes sure your child is ready for their chosen activity, like baseball, football, soccer, or track. This helps minimize their risk of injury.

Whether your child is entering preschool, daycare, elementary school, or college, each step may have different physical requirements. You should communicate these requirements with your provider before your appointment.

During a physical exam, your provider assesses your child's health holistically. They identify any acute or chronic physical conditions and mental health concerns and equip them with tips to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

For preventive measures, Fairway Children's Medical Group recommends an annual physical for children of all ages to help identify any serious health conditions early on and to avoid expensive treatments in the future.

What happens during a physical exam?

When arriving for your child's appointment, prepare to discuss any medications they take and known health issues or allergies. Your provider can also communicate with outside specialists.

During your child's physical, you can expect your provider to:

👉 Note your child's and family's medical history

👉 Check their weight and height

👉 Discuss any symptoms or concerns

👉 Take their vitals (blood pressure, respiratory and heart rate)

👉 Conduct a dermatological exam

👉 Evaluate joints, strength, posture, and flexibility (for school sports)

👉 Perform a head, chest, and abdomen exam

👉 Examine their nose, ears, and throat

👉 Conduct a vision check

👉 Perform a mental health evaluation

During an exam, your provider can also administer vaccinations.

Does a physical exam include tests or screenings?

If your provider suspects your child has an underlying health condition, they may recommend a metabolic panel, complete blood count, or screening for anemia, tuberculosis, and high cholesterol.

Your provider may conduct additional tests if your child is at higher risk for cancer, thyroid issues, or heart conditions.

Your provider may counsel children on healthy lifestyle choices, personal hygiene, tips to avoid injury, or education on substance misuse. The practice encourages them to speak freely about any physical or mental health concerns.
