Are You Struggling With Hip or Groin Pain?
Typical symptoms often include pain when running & changing direction, pain on first moving after sitting for long periods, pain crossing your legs, lying on your side at night, and clicking or locking.
'Athletic Hip & Groin Pain' is an umbrella term that describes a variety of pathologies in and around the hip & pelvic girdle.
Imaging such as x-ray & MRI are not usually required (unless you're thinking of a bone stress fracture), as imaging often will show up so-called injured structures even in healthy individuals with no hip or groin pain.
The key to successful rehab & a return to sport is to initially assess for all the contributing factors. I perform a thorough methodical assessment of the hip, trunk, pelvis & ankle/calf, looking at mobility, control & strength. I also assess your running and how you change direction (for court & field-based sport athletes), as this is where the highest forces will be going through that area.
