Exercises vs. joint mobility for groin pain in soccer players
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two different types of exercise therapy—a standard rehab program and a joint mobilization approach—to see which better reduces groin pain, improves balance and leg function, and helps you return to playing soccer. If you have had groin pain for at least 2 months and want to get back to your sport, this trial might be for you.
