Groin strains and hip flexor injuries are one of the most frequently under-managed conditions we see in footballers and runners through winter. Partly because they’re not as dramatic as an ACL, and partly because players assume they can run it off.
They usually can’t.
Without proper assessment and a graded return-to-run plan, groin injuries have a habit of becoming recurring problems that affect multiple seasons.
If the groin’s been tight or sore for more than a week, get it looked at. Early assessment means shorter recovery.
