Groin Pain Solutions for Skateboarders

Even beyond those moments when our foot gets pulled away from us on our board leaving us screaming in agony, groin pain and niggles are common with skateboarders.
Why?
Often overlooked, the adductor muscles (inner thigh muscles) play a huge role in stabilising the pelvis. With pelvic stability being huge in skating in basically everything we do on the board, when the adductors aren’t strong enough to fulfil this role they get tight and this is where we begin to feel these niggles and pains.
One of the best examples of the adductors playing their role is the push stride. As our leg engages our push movement, the adductors are creating tension in order to stabilise the leg that stays behind on the board. Your ability to create this tension will completely change your push stride for either good or bad.
This video series is designed to help skaters with some basic groin and adductor exercises that can help prevent and rehabilitate groin pain. Depending on where your strength is at will dictate which exercise will be right for you. (Remember you should never feel pain as you engage these exercises).
Simply choose:
A variation starting from the Bridge Squeeze. Progressing to the Copenhagen Planks.
A variation of both band exercises starting with a hold and progressing to the movement when you’re ready.
And a variation of the lunge movements.
If you currently have adductor pain, choosing a variation of each exercise may even be too advanced for you. Find the 1 exercise you can perform pain free and use that to build a base level from which to scale.
As usual don’t forget to hit the like button and save it for later. If you see your buds grabbing their groin in pain (which is never a good look) tag them in and share this to save the awkwardness.

Thank thank you!!! I love skating and just started to get a good grasp on a 180 no comply and a 180 pivot when I pulled a groin muscle. All I want to do is skate ..but I need to take care of myself. Thank you for creating this video!

My pain started when I was learning front180! never had problems when I was mastering my ollie tho. I wonder if the rotation plays a part

[@rockerdesiempre2970]

[@skateboardstrength9834]

[@alessiosavi7458]

This is gold! Thank you for how clear is the video and for the multiple POV of movements. Have you made a video about a pre-workout for groin/hip before skate? Awesome video!!

[@skateboardstrength9834]

Thank you for this. I pulled my groin from landing exactly like the beginning and it's been rough. Can't even Ollie correct at the moment. Gonna have to rest and recover but I just wanna go skate. Gonna start implementing all of these and strengthen up my groins. Much love man.

[@skateboardstrength9834]

off that's rough mate. Try slowly implementing the exercises in this clip at a real regressed level. It will begin to help the recovery process . Any questions just drop me a msg

[@VaughnyRollsUp]
