Core
Sports Hernias
Athletic pubalgia, or sports hernia, causes chronic groin and lower abdominal pain in athletes. Our treatment targets the core and hip muscle imbalances that drive this condition — conservatively when possible, and post-surgically when needed.
Common Symptoms
- Groin or lower abdominal pain during activity
- Pain with sprinting, cutting, or kicking
- Pain that improves with rest but returns with sport
- Tenderness in the lower abdomen or pubic area
Our Treatment Approach
- Core and adductor strengthening programs
- Hip flexibility and mobility work
- Progressive sport-specific loading
- Return-to-cutting and sprinting progressions
