Groin strains seem to be ubiquitous in sports today. Maybe this is because the sports have got harder to play or we all spend too much time sitting and unintentionally tightening our groins.
One of the main muscles in the groin, the adductor magnus has multiple roles. It can work as a hip flexor, a hamstring, a rotator and an adductor.

"Oh My Gosh- I am ALREADY feeling relief after a few days! I used to wake up 2-3 times a night with shooting pain that anti inflammatories couldn't touch. Now I have been waking up just because I want to notice what it feels like to lay in bed pain free- THANK YOU!."
"When I first started with your program I was experience a lot of pain. Walking was difficult. I had to stop and catch my breath every few minutes and lean against a wall for support. Now when I walk with my husband we go for over an hour. I never had to sit down and stop...and, hardly any pain!!! 😊😊 I can’t thank you enough."
