A groin strain occurs when the muscles of the inner thighs are stretched beyond their normal length. This results in tears within the muscle that cause pain and inflammation. The groin muscles are medically known as the adductors muscles. The adductors are comprised of five muscles; the adductor magnus, longus, brevis, pectineus, and gracilis. When these muslces contract, they bring the leg to midline. Overstretching these muscles results in a groin strain.
One easy way to prevent this injury is by gentle stretching of the hip adductor muscles. This can be done in the sitting, supine, and standing positions. Each strech gently lengthens the hip adductor muscles and increases their range of motion

Hi there,

Is it definately JUST a groin strain you have? The fact that the problem has been ongoing for so long and limiting your function so much would possibly suggest the need for further investigation (if not already done) to rule out a more serious problem such as an avulsion fracture or something.

Please let us know if you do find something that does help you though, as I would be interested in hearing about your progress.

Thanks

As above have it checked again by a specialist and get a second opinion. An MRI could be of benefit as well.

I think the right rehabilitation will be the right kind of training and besides that you could get a physio to do some deep massages to the muscles to get muscle heal the right way !!
