Common Causes of Groin Pain

• Adductor Muscle Strain: Overstretching or tearing of the inner thigh muscles, frequent in sports with sudden changes of direction.

• Adductor Tendonopathy: Chronic inflammation or degeneration of the tendons connecting inner thigh muscles to the pelvis.

• Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI): Structural impingement in the hip joint causing anterior hip and deep groin discomfort.

• Hip Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of hip joint cartilage leading to stiffness and deep groin pain during weight-bearing.

• Iliopsoas Bursitis / Strain: Inflammation or strain of the hip flexor tendon and bursa.

• Sports Hernia (Athletic Pubalgia): Strain or tear of soft tissue in the lower abdomen or groin area.

Treatment Stages at Indu Physiotherapy Clinic

Stage 1: Pain Relief & Load Management

• Manual Therapy & Soft Tissue Release: Targeted hands-on techniques to release tight adductor muscles and relieve tension around the pubic symphysis.

• Electrotherapy Modalities: TENS, IFT, or ultrasound therapy to modulate acute pain signals and accelerate tissue recovery.

Stage 2: Mobility & Muscle Activation

• Gentle Range of Motion (ROM): Dynamic hip flexor, adductor, and rotator stretches to prevent joint stiffness without overloading healing tissues.

• Pelvic & Core Activation: Isometric exercises to engage the transverse abdominis, glutes, and pelvic floor for improved spinal and pelvic stability.

Stage 3: Progressive Strengthening

• Copenhagen Adductor Protocol: Progressive eccentric adductor exercises proven to build strength and prevent re-injury.

• Glute & Hip Abductor Strengthening: Lateral band walks, clamshells, and single-leg bridges to correct hip muscular imbalances.

Stage 4: Functional Return & Prevention

• Sport-Specific Movement Drills: Controlled running, side-stepping, and decelerating exercises tailored to your daily physical demands.

• Home Maintenance Program: Customized stretching and strength routines to keep groin pain from recurring.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long does recovery from groin pain take with physiotherapy?

Mild adductor strains typically resolve within 2 to 4 weeks with early physiotherapy. Severe tendon injuries or chronic hip impingement may require 6 to 12 weeks of structured rehabilitation.

2. Should I stretch my groin if it hurts?

Aggressive stretching during acute injury can worsen muscle tears. Controlled isometric activation and dynamic movements supervised by a physiotherapist are recommended over heavy static stretching.

3. Can groin pain originate from the lower back?

Yes. L2–L3 nerve root irritation in the lumbar spine can refer pain down into the groin area. Our assessment evaluates both the lower back and hip joint to ensure an accurate diagnosis.
