What Causes a Groin Pull?
Sports that require a lot of rapid direction change are most susceptible to groin injuries. Other activities like kicking, jumping and rapid acceleration / deceleration place increased strain in the groin muscles. Any activity that creates sudden loaded abduction or adduction of the groin muscles can trigger a “pulled groin”. Hip misalignment also can manifest asymmetric hyper-recruitment of a muscle group. Conversely, a groin pull can also create asymmetry in hip alignment.
