It's really worked. I was suffering from groin pain befare 3 months, I take rest 1 months and do these exercises daily. Now I am free from groin muscle pain and continuing my running for national level. Thank-you buddy.
Absolutely amazing. I'm trying to recover from a 30 day old hip fracture and boy, am I bloody struggling. If only Dr Harden was here in England. I trust him!
This is invaluable for me... apparently I’d been doing this rehab thing wrong. Running on the treadmill, doing ball work without doing this. I need to do it properly from now on
I'm 36 years old. Been skateboarding since I was 10. Still doing it. Groin injuries are the worst. Been trying to learn more about how repair and avoid these injuries so I can keep doing it into my 40s. Good stuff.
Excellent dx and process of elimination isolating the problem. Very impressive watching you work as well as such sound advice. I'm pretty certain these exercises are directed exactly at the spot of a groin strain I just endured a couple days ago returning a very wide serve in the ad court (tennis) and then exploding back into the court. When I do the exercises you guys are doing it seems to target the exact area spot on.
snatchpony after 2-3 weeks, my pain is gone now :) I applied heat to it and did massages whenever I can. When there was no more pain, I slowly tried to strengthen the area so the the muscles are signaled to be repaired in a certain way by doing stretches with resistant bands- there are more vids out there. Remember, if u feel too much pain, stop. Hope u feel better! - I speak only from personal experience, not an expert tho.
The strategy seems to be strengthening as you steadily increase range of motion as opposed to the tendency (and ill advice) of stretching. This strain (and I currently am on the 4th week of one) cause spasms, tugging sensations, cramps, and a feeling of tightness. Naturally we are inclined to want to stretch it. Mine must have also compressed the femoral nerve because I had some tingling, numbing, etc. on the front thigh (between the hip and the knee), the inside thigh, and just above the knee. That has resolved and is mainly asymptomatic now. I am able to climb 50 floors of actual stairs (100 flights each direction) without incident at this point (no weightlifting exercises for legs yet). I will gradually incorporate some of these strengthening exercises as well. I attribute my recovery to NOT STRETCHING, massages, ice, and gradually increasing exercise intensity instinctively (pain is your guide).
Awesome video I pulled my groin riding a horse and everybody been telling me to stretch but it's not been getting any better this workout has been the only bit of relief I've had thank you
Just 2 days ago I too pulled the right groin muscle squatting. OUCH... I'll try some of these techniques and laying off for a week doing squats. Also, dead lifts I noticed after pulled groin I had pain as well. However, DL'ing lighter wieghts for a bit seems to "activate" the muscles without too much pain. So I'm understanding this, NO Stretching but active working the muscle to lesson the pain seems to make sense.
First, love your shit! Second, love the content aswell. It's great that you work with a variety of athletes that have a variety of different issues and it's very interesting to see every solution. Liked the emphasis of active mobility, mixing the flexibility and strength in those ranges of motion.
I wrestle, and play football and it didn't really start hurting until football. It's been hurting the past two months, and I can't really play to my fullest. It holds me back, and it's hard to do anything involving running. I try to stretch, but it hurts sooo bad.
God thank you for this video. I got my injury a couple weeks ago. Couldn’t even do leg raised for my ab workout, couldn’t run couldn’t do pretty much anything for a while. But trying to get better before BASIC TRAINING. Super nervous to go into basic after I’m healed up and injure my groin again. Hope this isn’t a permanent damage or something that comes back easily after it’s been pulled. Thanks for this video. 💪💪💪
Your abs should be doing all of the contractions and movement of raising your legs. You shouldnt feel any pain thru your legs since it's the Core that's being engaged.
Samuel Salgado yeah I know that but when you have a pulled groin you gonna feel the pain when you lift your legs and pass a certain part and do certain motions
Hey Jacob, I've had this exact problem for so long now around 2-3 months and it's completely interfered with my winter. It's been getting better but still not completely gone. I had to tolerate it for nationals and now it's now been 7 weeks since I've done any training.I've been stretching it and getting acupuncture but it's still "there" and the degree of pain has decreased a lot. Simply tenderness now. I just want to be able to sprint before being able to train... Can I have your opinion?
Juliano Sam Beesley Me too i have this problem and as same as you it is been getting better but still not completely 😢. I want to finish from this to return play football .
Sir, I played football for almost 4 years. I am a police member of Bangladesh. I have a groin pain with pain in my cottage pain, and I do not know what to do with any exercise
Hi Dr. Jacob, I just "popped" my groin 36 hours ago. Im a triathlete (intermediate level) Little bit tender currently but no pain to speak of. I understand its a grade 1. 2-3 weeks to heal. but this is a nagging injury bit like your man on this video, been nursing it on all my runs for the last year. always tight after a long run and can feel the difference from the other leg whatever I'm doing. so been training for a iron man and i have 10 weeks to go.. so all is not lost, but I'm not sure when i can use ultra sound on it. currently still using ice every 4 hours and today started light re-hab stretches and dynamic moves as you have shown here (Thanks :) ) can you advise on when to use ultra sound please? i will follow your exercises as seems i have similar issue to your man here. I have my own Chattanooga ultra sound / electrotherapy machine at home and appreciate any info on electrotherapy which my be beneficial? I'm comfortable calculating and using the ultra sound but if you want to give advice its most welcome. you guys here on YT are doing a great job I use this platform all the time and it rocks - thanks man. hopefully MB.
2/13/2020 I have the same injury. Before I attempt to rehabilitate as you show, should I let rest do its thing for a couple of weeks? I am asking, because the injury was secondary to overstretching during tennis; so, how can more stretching help immediately after I sustained the injury?
Hey Jacob, I've watched a few of your videos now, great stuff! Please keep it coming. I have a Kin degree and am now working as a personal trainer, so I have some knowledge but not anywhere near where you are at. I'd like to be able to have ever aspect covered as a trainer, including sessions like this. For him, did you believe it was pectineus/adductor that was bothering him? Or psoas? Also, I notice you like to use eccentric loading to treat a lot of these issues. Is that a general rule in your field? and What exactly is that doing for the injury? If you could give me some answers it would be much appreciated :D
Kiefer Thompson it's a combo of adductor and hip flexor. So we're using both. I use a lot multi angle isometrics as a way to gradually expose his nervous system to load and decrease the threat response. It's a great way to load the tissue without setting off pain so that we can start building his stress tolerance back up.
Ketan Hulawale I don't know for sure. Every case is different. I'm expecting to see significant improvement in about 4 weeks though and then I'll reeval.
Hi Dr Jacob Harden, Im a powerlifter and I think I have a adductor longus tendinopathy. When I press at my pubic tubercle I feel the pain. Also in big hip flection and adduction. The pain isn't high and I've been training with it for 1-2 weeks now. Do you recommend me doing the same exercices as you prescribed this athlete on top of my regular training, or what do you suggest? Thanks in advance!
Anyone have trouble walking..I fell on ice a year ago landed hard on my knee, ,,ouchie...treated with ice ,rest etc..but know have weakness in left leg, trouble with whole leg cramping knee feels locked up ,and I am a trainer, been trying to strengthen gluten, abductor atrophy, wall sits fired up more pain ugh
I have the same exact pain as him. I've been dealing with this for 3 weeks. Finally decided to take this week off because summer basketball jut ended. When should I start rehab and can you please do a follow up video with him. Thanks
Dr. Jacob Harden thanks. I played with it for a few weeks. It hurt but not to the extent I couldn't play. It was more of a discomfort. I also had pain in my pelvis and lower abs. What do you think my timetable for return is?
I was wondering if you can help me? I am desperate. I have pulled my groin and the pain go into the lower abdomen. Have you heard of sport hernias? Or athletic pubalgia? How do I rehab this. I've had this for a year and it wont get better
Sebastian Tri Work and life just got super busy. I really want to get back into it as these were some of my favorites to make. Just need to find the time for editing and all that.
Hi Dr. Jacob, im doing all the stretches that u had taught in this video but my pain is still there for almost 3 months and there is a small sound in my groin when i carry the leg to my chest level and every day at least 3 to 4 times i need to break tje knuckles at my groin area. Could u please advise. Thank you so much
Jaya Praviin Hey. Each case is unique, which is why the exercises I gave him may not work for you. I individualize everything quite a bit. That said, without assessing you, I don't know what prescription would be best. I have a bunch of groin exercises on my Instagram page (@dr.jacob.harden). You can try those but I think it's time for you to get in and get an assessment from a professional.
Hey there Doc. I had to have a groin reco done about 3 years ago. I've played soccer my entire life but this has now pulled me away. It seems sharp pains down my adductor get the better of me when I kick a ball, Sprint off the right leg, sudden movements and so forth. Would you recommend the same treatment as this guy?
christian fierro Hey. Sorry to hear about that. Hard to say since I haven't assessed you and his treatment is specific to what he was dealing with. In his case, there was a lot of hip flexion sensitivity, hence why we were working on grading up the speed of the hip flexion on the wall and what not. If you have more issues with adduction, like kicking, then loaded adduction against a band or something like a Copenhagen side plank may come in. If quick changes of direction are bothersome then things like side shuffles and cone drills could be useful so you can dial up the speed and unpredictability of that movement. Again, all just general thoughts but hope that gives you some direction.
@@DrJacobHarden Thank You so much Jacob. I had A groin sprain exactly 3 weeks ago while kicking a ball. I think it's a grade one. Rested, stretched and strengthened. Yesterday I resumed but I felt some amount of pain after I was done up till this moment. Please I will really appreciate an your medical advice. Hoping to get your feedback
Hey Dr harden. I am a football player that injured my groin about a year and a half ago. I know it may sound hard to believe that its been hurting that long but its true. The longest I've rested it is two weeks but it always ends up hurting. Any advice?
Deriaun Townsend Most likely you to strengthen the groin muscles directly. That could be using things like sumo deadlifts and lateral lunges into your training. It will better prepare you to move in different planes as you run and cut.
Deriaun, yum May need to get an MRI to evaluate whether you have a more complex injury then just a common strained muscle. That’s the group of injuries you may hear called a “sports hernia” which is a number of different injuries that produce common groin pain and often require surgery for competitive athletes
You should probably stop doing the activity that caused the problem. Until you feel no pain whatsoever. You should do slow and constant strengthening exercises. No fast twitching like in football tennis (my case). In 3 4 month you should be good. Does the tendon hurt? Go to specialized doctor. Get it diagnosed.
Dr Jacob harden I am suffering from same problem from 1 week...should I do those thing's?and how much time it will take to recover?and should I take ice or hit?
our earth our responcibilities Without assessing you, I really don't know. This was specific to his case presentation. As for ice or heat, go with what feels best.
i had a sevier pulled groin. could not lift leg to kick soccer ball not even a easy touch. a team dr doctor had me playing and kicking in two days,, we never did one single stretch. these people dnt know the hell they're doing. n they're working w world class athletes. joke
@@tumeropadre4578 he said. see me after practice. i sat on my ass for the rest of practice. after, he came to me and said lay back. he signaled 3 other teammates over to where we were. told 1 of em to hold my leg down and the other 2 to hold me down from my shoulders. basicly try and keep me from moving to much.. he with his thumb touch around in the groin area with pain.. and before i said shit. he said its tender right there right? i said yes.... i thought he would just do some stretching with me. no. he jammed his thumb into that exact spot for 3 thousands of a second. he did it 3 times.. i had a lump in my throat and teary eyes that i held in.. he said you be feel burning for about 20 mins. he said come see me tomorrow. i went the next day, i felt better already. he did the same thing that next day. and i was on the field the next day. like normal. no pain.. ever since then its never happened again. I've had that same groin act up 2 times months after but not severely like that 1st time. what i did was find the tender spot and put pressure with thumb fingers hard over and over throughout the day and it goes aways. its been 8 9 years since and i haven't had issues. when ever i feel any sort of tweek in the thigh hammies foot elbow shoulder anywhere i just apply pressure with the thumb.. or rub on the tender spot.it keeps me training.
okay but what was the root-cause? Is this level of professional couldn't manage those exercises before? I don't see anything extraordinary on this at this point. Please forgive my opinion if it sounds arrogant but in some point looks useless..
dodriano The root cause is an overloaded adductor/hip flexor tendon. It's not that he couldn't perform them before. But in the painful state, the tissue tolerance is much lower and we have to work within that tolerance. The exercises may look useless or low level, but they are appropriate to the tissue state. As he progressed, so did the prescription.
@@DrJacobHarden It is indeed your greatness still responding to questions.. The only question I have is, how long it took for this champ to come back to normally following your instructions. Thanks. Gohar
Yes, this is personal training for an elite sprinter and "NO" treatment is being performed, but clinicians can easily tell what's tight and needs to be treated. His strength coach can be called out for not performing any of those movements. Can't believe he saw this guy, lol.

Deriaun Townsend You just have to keep it to tolerance. With most of my patients, we try to keep pain from going above a 3 to 5 out of 10.

You should probably stop doing the activity that caused the problem. Until you feel no pain whatsoever. You should do slow and constant strengthening exercises. No fast twitching like in football tennis (my case). In 3 4 month you should be good. Does the tendon hurt? Go to specialized doctor. Get it diagnosed.

I understand....but I am sure that I have a front groin pain..should I rest or do stretches?

i had a sevier pulled groin. could not lift leg to kick soccer ball not even a easy touch. a team dr doctor had me playing and kicking in two days,, we never did one single stretch. these people dnt know the hell they're doing. n they're working w world class athletes. joke
How did the doctor heal you?
@@tumeropadre4578 he said. see me after practice. i sat on my ass for the rest of practice. after, he came to me and said lay back. he signaled 3 other teammates over to where we were. told 1 of em to hold my leg down and the other 2 to hold me down from my shoulders. basicly try and keep me from moving to much.. he with his thumb touch around in the groin area with pain.. and before i said shit. he said its tender right there right? i said yes.... i thought he would just do some stretching with me. no. he jammed his thumb into that exact spot for 3 thousands of a second. he did it 3 times.. i had a lump in my throat and teary eyes that i held in.. he said you be feel burning for about 20 mins. he said come see me tomorrow. i went the next day, i felt better already. he did the same thing that next day. and i was on the field the next day. like normal. no pain.. ever since then its never happened again. I've had that same groin act up 2 times months after but not severely like that 1st time. what i did was find the tender spot and put pressure with thumb fingers hard over and over throughout the day and it goes aways. its been 8 9 years since and i haven't had issues. when ever i feel any sort of tweek in the thigh hammies foot elbow shoulder anywhere i just apply pressure with the thumb.. or rub on the tender spot.it keeps me training.
okay but what was the root-cause? Is this level of professional couldn't manage those exercises before? I don't see anything extraordinary on this at this point. Please forgive my opinion if it sounds arrogant but in some point looks useless..
dodriano The root cause is an overloaded adductor/hip flexor tendon. It's not that he couldn't perform them before. But in the painful state, the tissue tolerance is much lower and we have to work within that tolerance. The exercises may look useless or low level, but they are appropriate to the tissue state. As he progressed, so did the prescription.
@@DrJacobHarden It is indeed your greatness still responding to questions.. The only question I have is, how long it took for this champ to come back to normally following your instructions. Thanks. Gohar
The worst
Yes, this is personal training for an elite sprinter and "NO" treatment is being performed, but clinicians can easily tell what's tight and needs to be treated. His strength coach can be called out for not performing any of those movements. Can't believe he saw this guy, lol.
Sir, I played football for almost 4 years. I am a police member of Bangladesh. I have a groin pain with pain in my cottage pain, and I do not know what to do with any exercise
