Groin pain is one of the most confusing pain areas because the groin sits at the junction of the hip joint, pelvis, spine, and multiple muscles and tendons. A small problem in one structure can feel like pain “inside the groin,” even when the real source is the hip joint or lower back.
In Dhaka, many people ignore groin pain until it becomes chronic. Others take rest and painkillers without fixing the root cause. The good news is that most musculoskeletal causes of groin pain respond well to proper physiotherapy assessment, load management, and progressive strengthening.
At ADPORC (Asia Digital Physiotherapy Orthopedic Rehabilitation Center), we commonly treat groin pain cases from sports injuries, gym training, long sitting, hip stiffness, and work-related strain, especially among adults in Jatrabari, Dholaipar, Shonir Akhra, Doyagonj, and Puran Dhaka.
What is Groin Pain?
Groin pain refers to discomfort felt in the area between the lower abdomen and the upper inner thigh. This region contains multiple muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and the hip joint, making diagnosis important.
Groin pain can be acute, often due to sudden injury, or chronic, developing gradually due to overuse, poor biomechanics, or underlying hip or pelvic conditions.
A physiotherapist’s job is to identify whether your pain is mainly coming from:
- Hip joint (inside the joint or labrum-related)
- Adductor muscles and tendons (inner thigh group)
- Iliopsoas (deep hip flexor area)
- Pubic symphysis or lower abdominal attachment
- Lumbar spine or nerve referral
- Pelvic stability and movement control issues
Without timely treatment, Groin Pain can become a persistent source of discomfort and may gradually affect your walking pattern, posture, and overall lower limb function, often leading to further complications in the hip, pelvis, or lower back.
Common Signs and Symptoms of Groin Pain
Patients with groin pain usually present with a combination of the following symptoms. The most common and clinically important ones are:
- Pain in the inner thigh or groin area
- Pain during walking, running, or climbing stairs
- Discomfort when changing direction or getting up
- Tenderness on pressing the groin muscles
- Reduced hip movement
- Pain during sports or physical activity (especially kicking, sprinting, or lateral movements)
Common Causes of Groin Pain (Adults)
Groin pain does not come from a single structure. Different tissues around the hip, pelvis, and inner thigh can produce pain in slightly different areas. The most commonly seen causes in physiotherapy practice include:
- Adductor Related Groin Pain (Inner Thigh Area)
This is the most common type of groin pain seen in active adults. Pain is usually felt along the inner thigh and near the groin crease. - Iliopsoas Related Groin Pain (Front Hip Crease Area)
Pain from the iliopsoas muscle is usually felt deep in the front of the hip or groin crease. - Inguinal Related Groin Pain (Lower Abdominal and Groin Junction)
In this pattern, pain is felt closer to the lower abdominal region and groin junction rather than the inner thigh. - Pubic Related Groin Pain (Central Pubic Area)
Pubic related groin pain is felt centrally near the pubic bone and may spread to both sides of the groin. - Hip Joint and Referred Pain Patterns
In some cases, groin pain does not originate from the groin muscles themselves.

How Physiotherapy Helps in Groin Pain?
Physiotherapy is the most effective treatments for groin pain because it targets the root cause rather than masking symptoms. At ADPORC, groin pain management focuses on:
- Accurate assessment of hip, pelvic, and lumbar mechanics
- Pain relief using advanced electrotherapy
- Manual therapy to reduce muscle and tendon tightness
- Gradual strengthening of groin, hip, and core muscles
- Movement correction and load management
- Sport or activity-specific rehabilitation when needed
Each treatment plan is personalized based on the patient’s condition, activity level, and pain severity.
Home Advice
Alongside clinical physiotherapy, patients are guided on:
- Avoiding painful movements during early recovery (e.g. deep squats, wide stance lunges, and sprinting)
- Correct sitting and standing posture
- Use short walks instead of complete bed rest
- Apply a cold pack for 10 to 15 minutes if pain is acute or irritated
- Avoid forcing stretches into sharp pain
These are general guidelines. Improper self-exercise without professional guidance can delay healing. If pain is sharp or worsening, assessment is strongly recommended.
When to See a Physiotherapist (Visit ADPORC)?
You should consult a physiotherapist if:
- Pain persists beyond 1 to 2 weeks
- Pain returns every time you run, play sports, or train
- You feel hip stiffness, clicking, or deep groin pinch
- Pain is limiting your daily function, stairs, or long sitting
- You are active in sports and feel groin weakness or instability
Untreated Groin Pain can lead to chronic discomfort in the pelvic and thigh region, altered walking mechanics, and progressive strain on surrounding muscles and joints, which may eventually require more complex interventions. Early physiotherapy prevents chronic pain and long-term movement restriction.
