Groin Injury (groin muscle strain)

    A groin injury is actually a strain of the muscles or tendons that attach along the inside of the leg to the pubic bone.  These muscles are leg adductors, and they are critical stabilizer muscles in sports that require quick changes in direction or sports such as hockey and rollerblading.  The specific muscles that are often injured in this situation are the pectineus, adductor longus, adductor magnus, semi-tendinosus, and gracillis muscles.  Active Release Technique is a very useful treatment for these muscles since it removes any muscular or tendinous adhesions in and between these muscles.
