The Movement Doctors are the Upstate’s groin strain experts
Your groin plays a pivotal role in powering your movements, from cutting and pivoting to running with control and precision. Even a minor strain can quickly knock your confidence and limit your ability to move freely. Our holistic approach ensure the full movement function is treated.
Over 30% of athletes who strain their groin will suffer a second strain - but it doesn’t have to be this way.
Groin strains are often a red flag for deeper issues, signaling imbalances in the body's muscle network. Ignoring the root cause means risking reinjury, even after the pain subsides. We target the core of the problem by treating the entire system—your abs, back, and hip muscles—so you can return stronger and stay injury-free for the long term.
