Groin pain can be uncomfortable, persistent, and frustrating, often affecting walking, running, kicking, changing direction, or even simple movements such as getting in and out of a car. It commonly occurs in active individuals but can also develop gradually through everyday activities, work demands, or postural strain.
At Gosforth Physio & Wellness, our experienced physiotherapists specialise in the assessment and treatment of groin pain. Through accurate diagnosis, hands-on physiotherapy, and targeted rehabilitation, we help reduce pain, restore movement, and lower the risk of symptoms returning.
Groin Pain Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapists in Newcastle use a personalised combination of manual therapy, mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, acupuncture, dry needling, taping, and progressive strengthening exercises, to address groin pain effectively.
Groin pain can be complex and is often linked to hip, pelvic, or lower back function. That’s why we take time to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms. Following a thorough assessment, your physiotherapist will explain your diagnosis, discuss the most appropriate treatment options, and begin treatment in your first session. Early physiotherapy can significantly improve recovery times and help prevent long-term issues.
Common Types of Groin Pain
Adductor Muscle Strain
One of the most common causes of groin pain, adductor strains often occur during sudden movements, sprinting, kicking, or changes in direction. Pain is usually felt on the inner thigh or where the muscles attach to the pelvis.
Sports-Related Groin Pain
Repetitive loading from sports such as football, rugby, running, or hockey can overload the groin region, leading to ongoing pain, weakness, or reduced performance.
Hip-Related Groin Pain
Problems within the hip joint, including impingement or reduced mobility, can refer pain into the groin area rather than the outer hip.
Tendon or Overuse Injuries
Gradual overload of the groin tendons can cause persistent discomfort, stiffness, and pain during activity or after exercise.
Pelvic or Core Dysfunction
Poor core control or pelvic stability can place excessive strain on the groin muscles, contributing to pain during movement or sport.
