What to Expect During Your Child’s Sports Performance Appointment
During the first visit, your child will undergo a thorough assessment appointment that takes between 90 and 120 minutes.
During the appointment, you and your child should expect:
- An initial physical therapy evaluation to assess strength and motion.
- A few minutes to change into shorts and a shirt made from skintight Spandex and don a headband, all provided by us. (We have a full range of sizes.) The shorts, shirt, and headband are outfitted with reflective markers on the head, torso, arms, and legs.
- A jogging or walking warm-up.
- A recorded testing protocol in which athletes are asked to perform increasingly challenging sports-related movements.
Before visiting the lab, please:
- Arrive 15 minutes before your appointment to ensure adequate time at check-in.
- Bring insurance information and identification.
- Bring clean, well-fitting athletic shoes.
- If you need to bring more than three people to the appointment, please call first to ensure there’s enough space.
- If there are questions and concerns you or your child would like answered during the visit, feel free to bring a list.
- Be prepared for a workout, although we will, of course, adjust what is asked of each individual based on ability and safety.
