Blue Posted October 8, 2002 Posted October 8, 2002 Anybody got a solution for a pulled groin muscle ? We were practicing spin kicks about 2 weeks ago, i took 10 days off and went back last night, hurt it again..not good. Will stretching help or hurt ?
LeaF Posted October 8, 2002 Posted October 8, 2002 ouch that is rough, I would suggest very light streching in moderation as you don't want to strain it further. Make sure to relax the musles to, have a hot shower, massage it is bit, or do some kind of warm up before streching the musles. Most importantly don't rush it, rome wasn't built in a day, give it time to heal properly . Perhaps KickChick or someone with more knowledge on this subject will be able to shed some more light on this topic.

KickChick Posted October 8, 2002 Posted October 8, 2002 Several different groups of muscles attach to the groin area. The flexor muscles bend the hip, the adductor muscles bring one leg in against the other, and the rotator muscles bring the knee across the opposite leg. To determine which muscle was involved, you must find out which motion brings on the pain. You should rest a groin pull for several days and then begin a gentle stretching program. This should be followed by a gradual return to activity. As always, the best prevention is a good stretching program as LeaF suggested before and after activity. Determine which muscles are injured. If it is the flexor muscles, do a Hip Extension exercise ...if it is the adductor muscles, do a side straddle stretch and the rotator muscles respond well to a Yoga lotus stretch.

CTpizzaboy Posted October 19, 2002 Posted October 19, 2002 HAHA!!! Sorry. Just had to get that out. I suggest for you to ask your girlfriend to massage that area. Massages always help. Canh T.I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversations.
