A Complete Guide to Groin Injuries

Today we’re going to examine the underlying causes of groin pain in runners as well as give you some ways to diagnose, treat and prevent this pesky injury!

Although groin injuries are relatively rare in runners, they are well-researched, given how often they occur in other sports like soccer. A 2007 study by Per Hölmich (Pear Hol-mick)in Denmark examined 207 athletes with long-lasting overuse injuries to the groin and found that groin injuries fall into three main categories. These are injuries to the adductors, iliopsoas, and combined injuries to the rectus abdominus and the adductors.

I’m giving it a try on a very minor strain. It seems like a TON of work. 10x30sec feels like forever lol. Thanks for sharing. This was the most comprehensive explanation on YouTube.

Where is the link to the video on Illiopsoas injury? I'm pretty sure that's what I've got. If you mention a resource in the video you should have a link to it somewhere.
