    Owensboro Health Orthopedics and Sports Medicine will offer free sports physicals for middle and high school athletes during May and June. Walk-ins and appointments are accepted. 

    Sports physicals are essential for student-athletes because they help ensure they are healthy enough to participate in their chosen sport. During a sports physical, a doctor evaluates the athlete's overall health, including their heart, lungs, and musculoskeletal system. The doctor also looks for any medical conditions that could put the athlete at risk for injury.

    Sports physicals are necessary for several reasons. First, they can help to identify any underlying health conditions that could increase the risk of injury. For example, a doctor may find that an athlete has a heart condition that could put them at risk for sudden cardiac injury. Second, sports physicals can help identify musculoskeletal problems that could lead to pain or injury. For example, a doctor may find that an athlete has a knee injury that could be aggravated by playing sports.

    Forms for Parents

    Each student will need a parent or guardian present to fill out and sign paperwork before having their physical. If the paperwork is completed beforehand, they do not have to bring a parent. You may download, print and sign the forms below.
