How often should I get a preventive checkup?

Most people don’t book a checkup until something feels off.
A weird ache. A nagging pain. Fatigue that won’t quit.
Then it’s a scramble to fix what’s already broken.

But at YFS (Your Form Sux), we believe the smartest kind of care is the kind that keeps you ahead of the breakdown.

That’s where preventive checkups come in — and no, we’re not just talking about annual blood work and “you’re fine” doctor visits.

We’re talking about proactive, personalized, movement- and systems-based check-ins that help you:

• Spot issues early
• Optimize performance
• Stay out of chronic pain cycles
• And build a body that works before it falls apart

🩺 So, How Often Should You Get a Preventive Checkup?

Short answer:
At least once per year — more if you’re active, stressed, or managing ongoing symptoms.

Longer answer:
The right checkup frequency depends on your lifestyle, risk factors, and goals. Here’s what we recommend at YFS:

✅ General Wellness Check (1–2x per year)

Everyone should get a functional wellness checkup at least once a year — even if you feel “fine.”

Why? Because early signs of dysfunction often don’t show up as pain. They show up as:

• Low energy
• Brain fog
• Gut issues
• Poor recovery
• Sleep disruption
• Inflammation you can’t feel (yet)

We assess:

• Movement and posture
• Strength and mobility
• Energy and nervous system health
• Lifestyle habits and lab markers (if needed)

🏋️ Training or High-Performance Athletes (Every 3–6 Months)

If you’re in the gym regularly, lifting heavy, running hard, or training for a sport — your body is under more wear and tear than average.

You need a performance checkup 2–4x a year to:

• Identify early movement imbalances
• Prevent overtraining or compensation injuries
• Fine-tune recovery and nervous system regulation
• Adjust supplementation and nutrition based on lab trends

🧠 Stress, Burnout, or Hormone Support Clients (Every 3–4 Months)

If you’re recovering from adrenal dysfunction, hormone imbalances, or long-term stress — check-ins help monitor your nervous system, lifestyle shifts, and lab markers.

We track:

• Cortisol patterns
• Sleep quality
• Energy regulation
• Supplement response
• Mood and cognitive performance

⚙️ Post-Injury or Chronic Pain Clients (Custom, Based on Plan)

If you’ve had an injury in the past year — especially one you “recovered from” on your own — you need regular assessments to avoid compensation patterns or flare-ups.

A check-in every 6–12 weeks during recovery, and every 3–6 months post-rehab is ideal.

This lets us:

• Reassess movement quality
• Spot overuse before it becomes pain
• Keep your rehab gains locked in
• Shift you from “fixing pain” to “building strength”

🤔 Not Sure What Kind of Checkup You Need?

That’s what we’re here for.

At YFS, preventive checkups aren’t just about ticking boxes. They’re about:

• Keeping you active, sharp, and confident in your body
• Helping you catch dysfunction before it turns into diagnosis
• Giving you clarity, not confusion

No long wait times. No “your labs look fine.” No rushed conversations.
Just smart, strategic care built for the way you live.

Bottom Line: Don’t Wait Until You’re Injured, Exhausted, or Fed Up

The best time to check in with your body is before it forces you to.
And at YFS, we make that process simple, focused, and 100% personalized.

Book your preventive wellness check at YFS and let’s make sure your system is working — before it stops.
