The groin muscles consists of six muscles that span the distance from the inner pelvis to the inner part of the femur. A groin pull is an injury to the muscles of the inner thigh. Groin pulls happens as minor tears of some of the muscle fibers, with the bulk of the muscle tissue remaining intact.

It is widely known that there are are 3 known levels of groin strains, depending on just how intense the pain and discomfort is. And for each level, there comes some kind of disability on the use of the muscle. The third grade means in some ways paralysis due to acute pain, that ussualy is accompanied by spasms and swelling. This kind of injury is often seen in athletics who participate in sports such as ice hockey and soccer and do not warm up properly.

It is very common to confuse a groin injury with a sports hernia. An inguinal hernia, however, typically creates a bulging protrusion in the lower abdomen or upper groin that is hard to miss. But to the non academic, these signs can not be determined very easily, and often pain is not properly attended, because we think it will just pass, and it doesn’t always just go away. That is why warming up is so important, and also knowing our body for better.
