Document Summary

Can include the iliopsoas, rectus femoris and adductor group (gracilis, pectineus, adductor longus, brevis. Difficult to diagnose as it may be any combination or from slightly different mois. Can be divided into acute and chronic. Know where it hurts need a good subjective. Is it acute or chronic: adductors often acute. Adductor longus most common site of injury. May be from adduction, forced extension/excessive hip contraction or a combination or other. Common in sports utilizing sudden change od direction (ex. hockey goalie in splits) Usually acute onset that is well localized: belly of adductor longus, proximal mt jxn or tendon near origin. Pain on resisted adduction of flexion and adduction contraction and stretch (contractile tissue) Not a good idea no stretching early on: focus on muscular imbalances core, glutes, etc, progress to include both concentric and eccentric, finally, add rapid change of direction and sport specific skills.
