Description:

Physical therapy for groin strains focuses on pain management, muscle strengthening, and injury prevention. Early interventions like RICE therapy and gentle mobility exercises reduce inflammation and stiffness, while adductor and core strengthening improve stability and support pelvic alignment. Progressive stretching, strengthening, and functional training help restore mobility and prevent future injuries, ensuring a safe return to activity.

Examples include:

Adductor Muscle Strengthening:

Copenhagen Adduction: Lie on your side with the top leg supported on a bench or by a partner. Lift the lower leg towards the top leg to activate and strengthen the adductor muscles, aiding in both injury prevention and recovery.

Hip Adduction with Resistance Band: Stand with an elastic band around your ankles and pull one leg inward against resistance, effectively engaging the adductor longus muscle.

Abdominal Muscle Strengthening:

Plank Variations: Standard and side planks build core stability, essential for pelvic support and reducing groin strain.

Dead Bug Exercise: Lying on your back, extend one arm and the opposite leg toward the floor while keeping the core engaged, alternating sides. This enhances core strength and control.

Core Stability Exercises:

Pallof Press: Stand with a resistance band anchored to the side, press it straight forward while resisting rotation, improving core stability and anti-rotational control.

Bird-Dog Exercise: From an all-fours position, extend one arm and the opposite leg while maintaining a neutral spine, enhancing core stability and coordination.

Start with low-intensity movements, gradually increasing resistance and load to prevent re-injury.
