If you’re experiencing a groin strain or pull, it’s important to contact our office immediately to help limit the amount of time that you may suffer from the pain related to this type of injury.
There are some simple steps you can take to help prevent a groin strain or pull.
- Always warm up by stretching your groin muscle before you commence with doing your sport or workout.
- Always increase your exercise slowly. Do not go “all out” as soon as you hit the trails or sports field. Start slow and work your way up to full speed.
- Make sure you are sufficiently hydrated with water before, during and after your physical activity. Water helps prevent muscle cramps and stiffness.
- Conclude your physical activity by properly cooling down and stretching.
