What is a Groin Strain?
A groin strain is a tear or rupture of any of the adductor muscles in the groin. Groin strains are graded 1 to 3 depending on severity.
Who is this program suitable for?
The program is criteria-based, not time-based. You progress through the phases, only moving on to the next phase when you have reached specific exit criteria.
How does it work?
The program consists of 6 phases. You progress through the phases, only moving on to the next phase when you have reached specific exit criteria. Paul introduces each phase and guides you through the program via a series of videos.
The app tells you exactly what to do each day (Today’s tasks) and records your progress to be reviewed later by yourself, or your coach/physio. We don’t just aim to heal your injury with this program but enable you to come back even stronger than before.
