Groin Pain Treatment
Groin pain stopping you from playing sport or exercising? PHYZFIT in Bexley North and Marrickville provides accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment for groin injuries.
What is Groin Pain Treatment?
Groin pain in athletes is a broad term that can encompass multiple structures including the adductor muscles, hip flexors, pubic symphysis, inguinal region and hip joint itself. Accurately identifying the source of groin pain is critical because different structures require very different treatment approaches.

- Pain in the groin during or after exercise
- Pain with kicking, cutting or change of direction

- Stiffness in the groin or hip after exercise

- Pain that has been present for weeks or months without resolving
Common Causes
- Adductor muscle strain from sprinting, kicking or rapid change of direction
