Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
it depend on if your a boy or a girl.
Both: They check your back for scoliosis, your skin for blemishes or scars, your eyes, ears, mouth.
Girls: Check your chest for any signs of cancer.
Boys: Check your....nether regions for any signs of cancer.
Mostly its just looking. Not a terrible lot of touching. For that tey bring in a doc of the same gender. (when I heard they were doing this, im a boy, i said dammit to myself)

When I got physicals in junior high school (the last year I attended school) they only measured my back to make sure my spine was growing straight.

Basically they check your weight, blood pressure, your back/spine, heartbeat. They can also prick your finger to get some blood, to make sure everything is okay.. like to make sure you aren't anemic or something, but that only takes a second & doesn't hurt at all. Some places also make you pee in a cup to make sure you aren't pregnant & to test for like urine infections and so forth. Also, if you haven't had all the shots you're suppose to have.. you could also get those. It's nothing major to worry about though- it doesn't take long at all to get a physical & it's not scary. :)

physicals are like a joke. i must've got em like a jabillion times!! so definately don't worry about it. they take your height/weight & check your back for different spine problems. they worst they can do is give you some sort've flu shot er something but thats only if you haven't gotten one yet er something. nothing is worse than that & it's pretty much boring & takes 15 minutes tops haha =) here's a website-

that's the possible things they can do if you didn't get them done. for school i juss did height/weight & eyes & hearing. for sports i did height/weight & back. they also check your blood pressure for both.
-hope that helped!♥
