What is it about discussing a pulled groin that feels so taboo? Well, no red faces here. We know groin issues happen and we know what to do about them.
Whether you've developed a history of groin issues from running, cross country skiing or busting a move at the last house party, you want to protect that area and avoid it becoming a chronic issue. Because, let's face it, just not doing those activities isn't the answer.
The first step in avoiding groin issues from flaring up is to pay better attention. When those muscles get tight or when you're about to do an exercise where you historically have issues, it's time for a little preventative stretching.
In this video, physiotherapist, Jean Lewis shows us how to loosen up the groin area with a gentle stretch. This simple stretch (read - you can do it while you're watching TV) will also improve your flexibility over time. Luckily, Jean also shows us how to progress this stretch as our flexibility improves.
And, you know what comes from improved flexibility? Even wilder free-expression dance moves. Oh, and relief from chronic groin pain. But, the sweet moves... ah yeah, clear the dance floor.
Special thanks to Jean, Melina & the folks at Gastown Physio & Pilates in Vancouver, BC!
