Groin Strain Rehab Video - Strained Groin Muscle

THIS HURTS!

What hurts...: Right Groin Muscle.

How you hurt it...: Not stretching before a soccer game, then kicking the ball with right foot.

When you hurt it...: Around 7 months ago.

Your pain level (1 is low, 10 is high pain): The pain is maybe a 1 or a 2 when I rest it, if any at all. However, when I play soccer, the pain is obvious. Maybe a 6 or a 7. Not so much painful, but it won't allow me to run at full speed, maybe 75%, and it hurts for a day after the soccer game.

Your age and overall health...: 26 and great health. 12% body fat, go to the gym 6 days a week, lift 5 days a week.

Any other information you feel is relevant...: I rested it for about a month and a half and it still hasn't healed. I'm considering seeing a doctor to see if I tore something, or if I could get antiinflammatory medicine. I'm a very active soccer player and this has affected me all season.
YOUR INJURY COULD BE...

Strained Groin Muscle.

REHAB YOUR INJURY BY...

Ice: 15 minutes for 2 to 3 times per day, with at least one hour in-between.

Abductor Stretch: Stand a little wider than shoulder width apart. Gradually shift your weight on to your left foot, stretching your right abductor muscle, holding the position for 15 seconds. Repeat on the other side. Perform each stretch 3 times on each leg. Stretches should be held without bouncing. You should not feel any sharp pain, if you feel pain then stop.

Hip Flexor Stretch: Keep one foot back, tuck your bottom under you and shift your weight forward. Hold each stretch for 15 seconds and switch sides.

Abductor Strengthening: Stand on one leg with knee slightly bent. Place tubing around opposite ankle and pull leg straight across. Repeat this on both sides. Two sets of 15 to begin and work your way to three sets of 15 without too much trouble.

Hi, you described my current situation. I have a question regarding the rehab. I tried standing on one leg and moving the injured leg across without the band. doing this provided me with a little bit of pain...Should I continue doing it to or should i wait. this injury has not healed for about a month + .
