The Hip-Pelvis Connection: Why Your "Groin Strain" Won't Go Away

Have you been treating a nagging "groin strain" or "hip flexor tightness" for months with stretching and foam rolling, but seeing zero progress? Does the pain radiate into your deep glute, inner thigh, or even your genitals?

It Might Not Be Your Hip Joint Alone

The hip and the pelvic floor are intimately connected. In fact, one of the major hip rotator muscles - the Obturator Internus - physically lines the inside of the pelvic bowl and attaches directly to the pelvic floor.

When the Hip and Pelvis "Fight"

If you have hip impingement (FAI) or a labral tear, your pelvic floor muscles often tighten up to "protect" the unstable joint. Conversely, a tight pelvic floor can pull on the hip rotation muscles, causing deep hip pain that mimics a joint issue.

Why Standard Physio Might Miss It

Traditional physiotherapy often looks at the hip in isolation. At Milton Physio Plus, we look at the Dual Relationship.

• We assess the hip joint mobility and the internal pelvic floor tone.

• We treat the Obturator Internus internally (which is often the "magic button" for resolving deep hip/groin pain).

• We strengthen the deep hip rotators to support the pelvic floor.

  
  

If your hip pain is stubborn, stop stretching it - it might need releasing. Visit Milton Physio Plus today and lets solve the hip pain together.
