The goal of a PPE is to:

• All Physical Exams you will be provided with an exam gown or shorts. Undergarments should be left on. If you arrive in your own shorts and loose-fitting shirt, this may suffice and is up to Dr. Sun’s discretion.
• Maximize your safe participation and longevity in your preferred Sport.
• Identify any medical problems that could present a life-threatening risk during moments of exertion (cardiac etc.).
• Identify medical conditions that would require a treatment plan before or after participating in your sport (diabetes, insulin dependence, hypertension).
• Identify any previous musculoskeletal injuries, evaluate the extent of rehabilitiation or necessity thereof.
• Identify and treat any conditions that might interfere with optimal performance or present a potentially dangerous obstacle (asthma, bronchospasm induced during exercise).
• Remove any unnecessary restrictions on participation, if needed.

Timing is truly everything in life. Lack of planning can often lead to unwanted consequences.

• Make an appointment 4-6 weeks before your season starts.
• Advance planning can allow time to treat any medical issues and/or rehabilitiate some musculoskeletal injuries in time for you to participate and receive clearance.
• Annually is usually required and recommended by Sports and Health Professionals.

• Routine lab testing is not a requirement in the PPE Guidelines.
• It is always up to the discretion of the Physician to determine if any further testing is recommended or required for clearance based upon the PPE exam findings.
