Groin Pain & Hip Flexor Injuries
Groin pain is a common problem in athletes and active individuals. It may develop gradually due to overload of the muscles around the hip and pelvis. See our Hip Pain and Sports Injuries pages for a broader overview.
Symptoms of a Groin Injury
- Pain in the groin region
- Pain when running or kicking
- Discomfort with sudden movements
Groin Pain When Running
Groin pain during running is often related to overload of the muscles around the hip and pelvis. Factors that may contribute include rapid increases in training load, reduced hip strength and poor running mechanics.
Physiotherapy Treatment
Physiotherapy rehabilitation focuses on restoring strength and stability in the muscles around the hip and pelvis, and improving movement patterns during running and sport.
Book a Hip Assessment
If groin pain is stopping you training or playing, an assessment can guide a safe return to sport. When booking, select “Initial Physiotherapy Appointment”.
