Groin pain can be a complex and frustrating issue, affecting athletes and active individuals alike. At Saunders Physiotherapy, we specialise in diagnosing and treating chronic groin pain, leveraging our expertise to help you return to your best form. Whether you’re dealing with sudden onset pain or a long-standing issue, our team is here to provide the answers and care you need.
Understanding Groin Pain: Causes and Diagnosis
Groin pain, also known as athletic pubalgia, can arise from a variety of structures and have multiple causes. It may stem from muscular imbalances or weakness, poor biomechanics, skeletal or structural factors, and or the interaction of these with load management issues. ‘It is important to understand the interplay between existing risk factors such as hip muscle weakness, poor biomechanics and training load errors that can see athletic pubalgia present and persist for periods of time that limit the careers of elite athletes every year’ Dr Saunders explains.
Chronic groin pain effects many athletes, ranging from adolescents to elite athletes engaged in high-impact sports. Our approach at Saunders Physiotherapy begins with a comprehensive assessment to identify the root cause of your pain. Through detailed diagnostics, including 3D lower limb muscle strength profiling and real time ultrasound imaging, we pinpoint a. the source/s of pain and discomfort, whether they are related to muscles, tendons, bones, or joints, and b. the causative factors that can be modified to ensure best outcomes.
