Groin pain may involve adductors, hip, abdominal wall or other structures. Reduce provocative demands, then progress from isometrics to strength, running, cutting and ball work.

Practical guidance

Start with a manageable change rather than complete rest or repeated painful testing. Record activity, symptoms and next-day response. An assessment can tailor exercise, technique and load; progress should be steady rather than based on a promised timetable.

When to seek help

Severe trauma, inability to walk, bruising, swelling, mass, fever, abdominal symptoms or testicular pain needs urgent care.
