What our sports medicals cover

Specialised assessments for athletic performance and injury prevention form the core of our Sports & Fitness Medicals in Ipswich. Our private GP-led evaluations combine medical history review, functional movement screening, cardiovascular readiness, and sport-specific risk analysis. We tailor each assessment to your activity level and goals, whether you are training for an event, returning from an injury, or seeking ongoing performance optimisation. We provide clear, actionable advice on training loads, recovery, nutrition, and any necessary medical screening to keep you safe and progressing.

• Pre-season evaluations for runners, cyclists, swimmers and team sports
• Movement and posture screening to identify compensations
• Cardiovascular and metabolic fitness checks where appropriate
• Personalised training and injury-prevention strategies

For ease of reference, you can also review our broader service page on Annual medicals in Ipswich to understand how these tests complement a broader health assessment.

Our GPs assess physical readiness for sports or training, can provide clearance letters, and check for underlying health risks. As part of the Ipswich private GP team, we work with you to ensure you have fitness to train and a personalised plan that aligns with your sport, schedule, and medical history. When appropriate, we can liaise with coaches or specialists to support a safe return-to-play pathway.

For reference, you can follow NHS guidance on sport and fitness as you plan your training or competition. See NHS guidance on sports injuries and fitness for additional context on safe practice and thresholds for medical clearance.
