A groin strain refers to over-stretching, tearing or rupturing of any of the five muscles of your inner thigh. In most cases groin strains are minor tears of a few fibers with the bulk of the muscle remaining intact. Groin strain affects any of the 5 hip muscles whose main function is to pull the leg upwards and towards the center of the body while walking and running, or balancing on one leg.

Groin pain can come from any structure in or surrounding your inner thigh where there are numerous arteries and veins as well as large muscles. It is important to establish where exactly the groin pain is – this can be a very helpful identifying what underlying structure (muscles, joints, bones, nerves or ligaments) is causing your pain.
