A sports physical isnโ€™t about passing or failing. Instead, itโ€™s about managing your childโ€™s health. If the healthcare provider identifies an issue that could make sports unsafe for your child, they will likely include follow-up action. ๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐€๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐‘๐ข๐ฌ๐ค๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐š ๐’๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ก๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ฅ? If your child has a health condition that impacts their performance or makes them more susceptible to injury, that could hurt them more in the long run. The goal of the appointment is to simply understand your childโ€™s health. ๐’๐œ๐ก๐ž๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ž ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐’๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐•๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ Our compassionate healthcare providers care about your family. ๐Ÿ•ฟ (303) 688-8666 ๐ŸŒ www.foundersfamilymedicine.com #urgentcare #castlerock #sportsphysical #urgentcarecastlerock #medicalclinic
