What are physicals?

At Clinic Infinity, physicals involve comprehensive health evaluations performed by your medical professional to assess your overall health and ensure you’re fit for specific activities or requirements. They play a role in preventive care and serve as an opportunity to identify and address potential health issues early.

Different types of physicals cater to unique needs, including:

Wellness physicals

These annual exams focus on your overall health, including a review of your medical history, vital signs, and lifestyle habits. They help detect any underlying conditions and promote long-term well-being.

School and sports physicals

These evaluations are required for students and athletes to determine if you’re physically ready to participate in sports or school activities. They often include assessments of strength, flexibility, and any health risks related to physical activity.

Measure vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature
Perform a physical examination, checking your eyes, ears, throat, lungs, heart, and abdomen
