What goes wrong

What goes wrong with Hip & Groin rehab

01

Misdiagnosis is common

Groin pain in athletes has over a dozen potential sources — adductor strain, hip flexor, FAI, sports hernia, osteitis pubis. Treatment only works when the diagnosis is right.

02

Rest without rehabilitation

Groin injuries respond poorly to rest alone. Active management — progressive loading, strength work, movement retraining — produces better outcomes than passive treatment.

03

Ignoring the hip's role in sport

Groin injuries in AFL, soccer, and combat sports are often driven by hip strength deficits, poor pelvic control, and rotational demands. Treating the site of pain without addressing the cause leads to recurrence.

The Stride approach

How we manage Hip & Groin injuries

We take a full clinical assessment — hip ROM, adductor and hip flexor strength testing, pelvis stability, and sport-specific movement analysis. We differentiate between the common injury types and build your program around the actual diagnosis, not a generic 'groin strain' protocol.

Common questions

Hip & Groin Rehab FAQ

Clinical assessment is the starting point. Symptoms, mechanism, and physical testing help differentiate between muscle strains, FAI, sports hernia, and other sources. Imaging is arranged when indicated.

Very common. The rotational and kicking demands of AFL place significant load on the groin and hip complex. We work with AFL athletes regularly and understand the sport's specific demands.

Usually yes, with modification. Lower body work may need to be adjusted, but maintaining fitness and upper body strength during rehabilitation is always the goal.
