It may also include various diagnostic tests depending on your health status and the requirements of the procedure or activity in question.

These can include blood work, imaging studies, cardiovascular assessments, and other tests designed to provide a detailed picture of your health status.
• Specialist Consultations: If necessary, we collaborate with specialists across various fields to ensure all aspects of your health are evaluated. This interdisciplinary approach helps in making informed decisions about your medical clearance.
