Sports physicals
Includes a thorough history and physical exam to allow you to safely participate in activities and access any risks you may have for injury and recommend any rehab/exercises prior to activity. There are a few history questions and exam items that are slightly different for males and females. http://www.acsm.org/docs/brochures/pre-participation-physical-examinations.pdf
