Leg adductor pain is a common issue that affects athletes who play sports that involve frequent changes of direction, such as football, rugby, tennis, and basketball.
The patients generally refer to adductor muscle pain as groin and hip pain.
It is caused by tendon inflammation, stiffness or injury of the adductor muscles which are located on the inner part of the thigh.
Any stop-and-go movement or change of direction in our body involves the strong activation of the hip muscles, both adductors and abductor muscles. For these reasons, footballers and gymnastics are often affected by adductor muscle pain or injury.
The most common muscle injury that causes adductor pain is the so-called Inguinal or groin strain.
