Expert, Hands-On Groin Pain Care
Groin pain can be persistent and frustrating, affecting walking, sport and everyday movement, and it often has more than one contributing cause. Our specialist physiotherapists assess and treat groin pain across our four North London clinics.
Because several different structures can be responsible, a thorough assessment is essential to effective treatment. Our hands-on approach is designed to identify the true source of your groin pain and address it properly so you can move comfortably again.

The Basics
What Causes Groin Pain?
The groin is where several muscle groups meet, including the muscles that bring the leg inwards, the hip flexors and the lower abdominal muscles. Pain here can arise from any of these structures, as well as from the hip joint itself, which is why groin pain is often more complex than it first appears.
Groin pain may come on suddenly, for example with a sporting injury, or develop gradually through overuse. It is common in sports that involve kicking, sprinting and rapid changes of direction, but it also affects people who are not especially active, sometimes pointing to an underlying hip problem.
Why It Happens
Common Causes We Treat
At our North London clinics we regularly assess groin pain arising from a range of causes, including:
- Strains of the adductor muscles on the inner thigh
- Hip flexor strains and overuse
- Hip joint problems that refer pain into the groin
- Tendon-related pain from repetitive loading in sport
- Lower abdominal and pelvic-related causes that require careful assessment
Signs to Watch For
Symptoms to Be Aware Of
Groin pain can present in several ways depending on its cause. You may notice:
- Pain or tenderness along the inner thigh or where the leg meets the trunk
- Discomfort when bringing the leg inwards or lifting the knee
- Pain that worsens with running, kicking or twisting movements
- Stiffness or aching in the hip and groin after activity
- Pain that gradually limits your sport or daily movement
Our Approach
How We Treat Groin Pain
Given the number of structures that can cause groin pain, our first priority is an accurate diagnosis. We carry out a detailed assessment of your hip, pelvis and surrounding muscles, and consider your activity and history, because identifying the true source is what makes treatment effective.
Hands-on therapy helps to ease pain and restore movement, while a personalised exercise programme rebuilds the strength and control of the affected muscles. For groin problems in particular, progressive strengthening of the adductors and surrounding muscles is often central to a lasting recovery.
We also address the factors that led to the problem, whether a training error, a strength imbalance or an underlying hip issue. Where the cause appears to lie within the hip joint or requires further investigation, we work alongside your GP or consultant to ensure you receive the right care.
Your Care May Include
- Detailed hip, pelvis & muscle assessment
- Hands-on manual therapy
- Progressive adductor strengthening
- Movement & control retraining
- Training-load & technique advice
- Onward referral where needed

Good to Know
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Groin Pain Always a Muscle Strain?
Not always. While adductor and hip flexor strains are common, groin pain can also come from the hip joint or other structures in the area. This is why a careful assessment is important before assuming the cause.
How Long Does Groin Pain Take to Settle?
It depends entirely on the cause and severity. A minor strain may improve within a few weeks, while more stubborn or longstanding groin pain can take longer and benefits from a structured strengthening programme.
Can I Keep Playing Sport With Groin Pain?
Continuing to play through groin pain can prolong the problem and risk making it worse. We will assess the cause and advise on how to manage your activity so you recover properly rather than allowing the issue to become persistent.
Do I Need a Referral to Be Seen?
No referral is needed to book with Bodylogics, and you can arrange an appointment directly at any of our four North London clinics. If you intend to use private health insurance, your provider may request a referral first, so it is sensible to confirm with them beforehand.
