Was looking for something like this. Been playing a lot of hockey in past 5 years...and working on acceleration recently. I started getting sore groin/ adductor muscles...and that eventually led to a minor pull during a game...that happened by simply jumping to accelerate down the ice. That has kept me out of hockey for almost a month now. I realize I need to incorporate both more stretching....but, probably more importantly, to work on strengthening those muscles, as they got sore in the first place when I started to put more load on them pretty regularly. This stuff should really help.
Absolutely Joe! It's definitely a combination - in fact, we see more pulls/tweaks as a result from WEAKNESS than tightness. It's completely natural, as hockey player's we build so much lower body muscle that the adductors don't keep up. Almost all the tweaks we hear are exactly as described, explosive first steps. Hope this helps - if you keep at these exercises for a month you'll see it pay off!
Pulled what my PT diagnosed as the pectineus. Did PT for 2 months. Got maybe 60% better. Never went away and never went back to playing 100%. A year later now it got worse one day when playing very fatigued. Now looking for real hockey-style adductor rehab. Maybe I need to stop playing for a good two months.
@@vincentcaudo-engelmann9057 How often are you playing Vince? Honestly - this is advice most guys hate to hear, but groin injuries are usually one's that you need a break from skating on. Maybe consider 6 weeks off the ice, while doing rehab exercise day, and then slowly introducing skating again. (Of course: not a medical professional, and you should consult your PT).
