Groin Pain Treatment Newcastle

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.

Groin Pain FAQs

What are the most common causes of groin pain?
Groin pain is commonly caused by muscle strains, tendon overload, sports injuries, hip joint problems, pelvic instability, or overuse.

When should I see a physiotherapist for groin pain?
If your groin pain lasts more than a few days, affects walking or sport, keeps recurring, or worsens with activity, it’s advisable to see a physiotherapist for assessment.

Do you treat long-term and sports-related groin pain?
Yes. We treat acute groin strains, long-standing groin pain, sports injuries, postural-related issues, and hip-related groin conditions.

What does a groin pain assessment involve?
Your physiotherapist will take a detailed history, assess hip and pelvic movement, muscle strength, flexibility, and control, and identify the structures contributing to your pain. You’ll receive a clear diagnosis and treatment plan.

Do I need a scan before starting treatment?
Usually not. Most groin pain can be diagnosed clinically. If imaging is required, we can arrange fast access to private MRI or ultrasound scans through trusted Newcastle clinics.

Which treatments help groin pain?
Manual therapy, mobilisation, acupuncture, dry needling, massage, taping, strengthening exercises, and movement retraining are commonly used to support recovery.

How long does groin pain take to improve?
Recovery depends on the cause and severity. Mild strains may settle quickly, while persistent or sports-related groin pain may require a structured rehabilitation programme.

Is exercise safe if I have groin pain?
Yes, when guided appropriately. Targeted strengthening and control exercises are essential for long-term recovery and injury prevention.

Better by 5

Over 90% of our patients get ‘Better by 5’ sessions.

If you need any of our physiotherapy, sports injury, sports massage or acupuncture services, you should see and feel a real difference by the end of your fifth session.

If, on the other hand, there is no improvement in your clinical condition or in the way you feel – we STOP after the fifth session. At that point, we reassess the reasons why there has been no apparent improvement and, if necessary, we can organise scans and letters to GP's and Consultants. You can be sure that we will never continue treating you unless there is a positive benefit – and only when you (and we) agree on your treatment plan.
