Fix Your Groin Strain On Your Own!

Learn how to fix your groin strain on your own with at home stretches and exercises. Dr. Kristie shows you how to, first release the muscles, and then stretch and strengthen.
Most groin strains occur from being over stretched, so it's important to start with icing and gentle release, NOT stretching.
Once the area feels better, than stretching may be started.

[@jenniferharris7633]

I ordered a Derma Edge because I was having tightness and pain around my IT bands. When I received it I went to work on breaking up the fascia and lactic acid in the big muscles around the outer part of my thighs (not bothering to check my inner thigh muscles). After a couple of days my legs felt much better, so I started on the inner thigh muscles, particularly the sartorius. Well, I hit that muscle with the DE and just about jumped off the couch it was so sensitive and tight, yet never gave me any trouble. Now it's much better too. And as a side note, I didn't drink enough water after really working hard on breaking up the fascia and the lactic acid caused me to wake up the next morning with a major headache. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that the Derma Edge is an awesome tool and so much more effective than foam rollers. Thanks for creating it.

[@drkristieennis]

Jennifer Harris thank you so much for that feedback! I’m so glad it’s working for you:) I will be doing a video on assessing where your tight areas are so that people can figure out what areas they need to work on most. Thanks again!

[@drkristieennis]

Gentle adductor strengthening is definitely the way to start. Also, focus on hip abductors and other glutes and abs as those tend to be the weaker muscles that lead into the problem.

[@MichaelaDAmico]

Hi there! Thanks this video was so helpful!! I have what I think is a pulled groin and it is not the first time, on the same side where I was having lower back pain for a year. I am pretty sure the groin pull is from yoga, which is strange because its the same yoga I've been doing for months. Do you suggest that for this recent groin pull/pain, I need to STOP yoga and stretching for a week? Could I do other exercise like extensive walking, swimming, surfing? Thanks again!:)

[@MichaelaDAmico]

Also wondering if heat pads are okay for injuries like this! thank you

[@drkristieennis]

For any pulled muscle, stretching should be stopped. Usually a pull/strain is from an overstretch. I do see groin pain too when people have SI issues. Other exercise, that doesn’t cause pain, is a great idea:) if heat feels good, it’s ok to use.

Loved this! I strained my groin back in december by overdoing it on the treadmill with sprints and probably not warming up enough. I don't get pain in day to day activity like being at work, but it flares up when i go on walks (hour + of walking). I want to get back to running so bad! If i do this daily do you think i'll be good to go within a few weeks? Thanks :)

That’s a tough one to answer! It can certainly take a few weeks. Are things feeling better?

I had stopped doing butterfly stretches for months after my last episode of groin pain that lasted a whole year! Looks like I got it again now- came on suddenly yesterday, while I was sitting. I get the pain in the pubis area- close to and near where thigh attaches to the leg. I was doing warm fomentation coz my physio said anything muscle needs warm pack, anything joint needs cold pack! but I read you recommend icing. Please confirm. Also, for how long should we wait before starting isometric ball exercise? Thank you so much!

[@drkristieennis]

It can certainly vary on which works best. When there is actually something that causes a true strain, ice usually helps in the beginning where heat helps later on but research varies as do individuals:)

[@drkristieennis]

If you over stretch, which can happen in yoga, a strain can occur. You may want to check with your doctor to make sure there is no hernia. The hip flexors do extend up near the belly button so that could also be the issue.

I am 71 your video a are good for me, but I am wondering if something else is needed. I took physio for 3 months for knee pain. Then I started the walking as I was getting weaker. Thank you for your opinion please?

@@Josephine7able I’m sorry to hear you are having so much pain:( There are numerous things that can cause this so it might be a good idea to have this looked at in person.
