Hip and Groin Pain in Runners
Hip and groin pain are common in runners due to repetitive loading, reduced strength or technique-related issues. We frequently help runners who experience:
• Discomfort during or after runs
• Difficulty increasing pace or distance
• Pain in the hip flexor or glute region
• Symptoms when transitioning to hills, speed work or longer runs
Running assessment may be incorporated to help identify contributing factors.For more detail on running technique and load, see our Running Assessment page.
Groin Strains in Field Sport Athletes
Groin strains are one of the most common injuries in field sports such as football, rugby and soccer. These injuries benefit from structured rehabilitation focused on:
• Adductor and hip strength
• Movement control
