Groin Pull

Groin pain; Groin strain; Groin pull injury; or Adductor strain. Call it what you want, the fact is, it's a very common muscle strain injury that currently plagues sports like soccer, basketball, football, hockey, track & field and racquet sports.

Competitors that participate in sports that require a lot of running or rapid change in direction are most susceptible to groin injuries.

The basis of prevention comes down to two simple factors. A thorough warm-up and physical conditioning, ie: flexibility & strength.

The role of massage in groin pull follows the acute stage of the injury. As the athlete is healing, massage should be incorporated to prevent or reduce scarring and facilitate flexibility.
