School & Sports Physicals in St. George, Utah
Schools, teams, and activities often ask for a physical before participation. Call about your deadline, and bring the form you need completed.
A Visit Built Around the Form You Need
Before a student can join a team, attend a camp, or start a school program, the organization often asks for a physical. These visits review health history and include an exam related to the participation requirements you've been given.
Every organization's form is a little different, so the visit is shaped by what yours asks for. Bring the form with you, and your provider will work through it with you during the appointment.
Completing an appointment does not guarantee clearance. The applicable participation requirements should be discussed with your provider and the requesting organization.
What a Physical May Include
The visit follows the student’s age, health history and the form you bring. Depending on what the form asks for, it may include:
- Health, medication and allergy history
- Relevant family health history
- Height, weight and blood pressure
- Vision check, if the form requires it
- Heart and lung exam
- Muscle, joint and previous-injury review
Optional Preparation
If available, it may help to bring or have ready:
- The required physical form, with any parent sections completed.
- A list of current medications and known allergies.
- Glasses or contact lenses, if worn.
- Relevant health history, especially anything the form asks about.
These suggestions may help you prepare. Call the clinic to ask what is needed for your visit.

After the visit, ask any questions you have about next steps—what the completed form means, and whether anything needs follow-up before the season starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I bring to a school or sports physical?
If available, it may help to bring the form required by the school, team, or organization, with any parent sections completed. It may also help to have a list of current medications and known allergies, and glasses or contact lenses if they're worn.
How far ahead of the deadline should I call?
Call when you know your deadline so you can ask about available appointments and the paperwork your organization requests.
Does a physical guarantee clearance to participate?
No. Completing an appointment does not guarantee clearance. Discuss the applicable participation requirements with your provider and the organization that requested the form.
Is a sports physical the same as an annual wellness visit?
Not necessarily. A participation physical focuses on the requirements of the form you've been given. A broader wellness visit covers more ground. If you'd like both, ask when you call so the appointment can be planned appropriately.
What ages do you see for physicals?
Please call (435) 673-9653 and ask. Our team can tell you whether the visit you need is something we can provide and how it would be scheduled.
Will insurance cover the physical?
Coverage varies by plan and by the type of visit. Peak Medical accepts several insurers, but please call to verify your benefits before the appointment.
