At F.I.T. Muscle & Joint Clinic, we look beyond basic clearance. Using our Functional Integrative Triage approach, we assess how your body moves to identify anything that could limit performance or increase risk once your activity levels pick up.

Benefits of Physicals

You need this done, and it should feel straightforward. We make sure everything is covered, then send you out knowing you’re ready to step into the season.
Know Your Next Steps
If something stands out, you won’t be left wondering what to do. We walk you through what it means when we catch something that’s off and what, if anything, should happen next.
Answers That Make Sense
How We Work With Your Body
Sports Physicals
You can schedule a sports physical at F.I.T. with any doctor, and the visit is meant to do more than provide clearance. Your provider checks basic vitals, looks at readiness for sport, and helps catch anything that may deserve a follow-up before the season gets moving. This is all part of our sports physical exams in Waukee, giving you a clearer picture before you play.
Biomechanics Screening
This is where F.I.T. stands apart from a quick form visit. Your provider looks at how the body moves to pick up signs that may point to injury risk or a limitation worth watching. That makes the exam more useful than a yes-or-no clearance alone.
Conservative Care Tools
If something comes up during the exam, the conversation does not have to stop there. F.I.T. uses active care, hands-on treatment, and rehabilitation exercises to address movement issues in a practical way and help you move forward with a plan.
Be Ready for the Season
We’ll help you take care of your sports physical and answer any questions before things get moving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a sports physical every year?
In most cases, yes. Schools and athletic programs typically require an updated exam each year to make sure you’re still cleared to participate. A sports physical exam in Waukee also gives you a chance to catch any changes before the season begins.
What do I need to bring to my sports physical?
Bring any required school or team forms, a list of medications, and a relevant medical history or record of past injuries. Having this ready helps the visit move smoothly and ensures your sports physical exam in Waukee covers everything needed for clearance.
How long does a sports physical take?
Most visits take about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on what needs to be reviewed. A sports physical exam may take a bit longer if anything requires a closer look or follow-up discussion.
