Burwood NSW · Groin Strain Treatment
A groin strain is a common injury in footballers, runners, and active individuals — causing sharp inner thigh pain that can significantly limit movement and sport performance if not treated correctly.
Groin strains involve tearing of the adductor muscle fibres and range from mild to complete tears. Our sports physiotherapists accurately grade your injury and deliver a structured program for rapid, full recovery.
How We Treat This Condition
Evidence-based treatment tailored to your specific presentation and goals.
Injury Grading
Clinical assessment identifies the muscle involved (adductor longus, brevis, or magnus), the grade of tear, and whether imaging is required.
