Why You Need a Physical

FastMed clinicians see children and adults to conduct physicals for the following reasons:

Sports. A sports physical will determine if it is safe to participate in a sport. Some sports programs require a physical exam, and others recommend them.
Camp. Most camps require a physical exam prior to attending the camp.
Basic. Even if you feel well and haven’t needed to see a doctor for a while, you should schedule a basic physical to ensure that you truly are in good health.
School. Before sending your child off to school, ensure that they are in good health with a physical exam.
