  • A sports hernia is basically a strain or tear in the soft tissue of your lower abdomen or groin area. A sports hernia is usually caused by sports where you plant your feet and twist with maximum effort, like soccer, wrestling and football. These stretches & exercises should help. See Doctor Jo’s blog post about this at: www.askdoctorjo.com/sports-hernia
    First you will do transverse abdominis (TA) recruitment. For TA recruitment, go to top of your hip bone, slide your fingers towards your belly button, and then cough. The muscles pushing into fingers are the ones you want to contract. Breath in and slowly blow out like you are blowing out candles while you are keeping the muscles engaged. This will help retrain the muscles to work correctly. Do this about 5 times.
    Now you will do some stretches for the hip flexors. Start in a kneeling position. Place the knee of the hip flexor you want to stretch on the ground, and take the opposite leg and bend it in front of you at a ninety-degree angle. You might want to place a pillow under your knee to protect it. You will be in a lunge position with the knee of your injured side on the ground. Now drive the knee of the uninjured side forward away from your body. Hold for 30 seconds, and do this 3 times.
    Next you will stretch your quad muscles. Place the knee of the quad you want to stretch on the ground, and take the opposite leg and bend it in front of you at a ninety-degree angle. You might want to place a pillow under your knee to protect it. You will be in a lunge position with the knee of your injured side on the ground. Then grab the ankle of the side you want to stretch and pull it up towards your buttocks. Hold for 30 seconds, and do it 3 times.
    Then you will stretch your groin/inner thigh area. This is a simple butterfly stretch. Sit on the ground, and put your feet together pulling them towards your body. If you need more of a stretch, you can place your elbows on your inner thighs, and apply gentle pressure downwards. Hold the stretches for 30 seconds, doing 3 of each set.
    Now you will stretch your inner thigh/adductor muscles. In a tall kneeling position, put the let you want to stretch out to the side of your body. Point your toes forward, and try to keep your leg straight. Lean downward and away until you feel a stretch. Hold it for 30 seconds, and do it three times.
    Finally, you will do a hamstring stretch. There are many ways to stretch them, and you can check out the hamstring stretches video for other ways to stretch them. The most important part of this stretch is to keep your back straight. Many people try to curl their backs to be able to touch their toes. Your hamstrings are attached to what is called the ischial tuberosity, or your butt bone. So if you bend at your back, you are not going to get a good hamstring stretch. Try to bend at your hips. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds and do it three times.

      So what are they saying it is? That kind of pain can be from many things. If you haven't been to a physical therapist, that might be a better option. Then they could rule it out or in, and see if it's coming from the hip or somewhere else.

    i too healed my inguinal hernia. i'm over 60 and between pedaling regularly and doing daily pullups my 8 pak is better than in years and i no longer have an inguinal hernia. while i do meditate daily and do yoga almost daily i credit the pullups and possibly the pedaling for solving the problem. it seems that by strengthening the abdominal muscles i reinforced the area through which the intestine had moved and i no longer have a weak spot through which the hernia presented itself. i'm back to lifting heavy things; not an issue. i would say that the hernia was one inch or so. i have always taken good care of myself. i eat welland get plenty of sleep. i am not overweight and never have been. i caused the problem while moving myself into my current space. lifted too much weight. it hurt like hell; a burning like feeling that i did not like at all. i do believe in the value of yoga for me. it makes me flexible, strong and young.​ ​the warrior poses and shavasna. in Chicago we have saturday morning yoga in the park every saturday all summer long....for free. love it!!

    Hi Jo, I hope you're well! I had a proper inguinal hernia in my left groin area repaired a few years ago, and when I had the MRI they said I had a tiny hernia on my right side which was nothing to worry about then. There's no bulge at all so I'm guessing it's a sports hernia, but it's just started to hurt, I must have tweaked it somehow.
    Will these exercises help with pain management?

    Thanks for this Jo you’re a life saver! I’ve had an undiagnosed hernia in my lower left abdomen for 4 years! It’s caused me a great deal of frustration but I’ve finally found out it’s a hernia - but surgery isn’t really possible at the moment with COVID! I’m wondering what exercise/training I can do without potentially making the hernia worse? My body tends to ache far more on the whole because of the hernia and my left knee and calf tend to get achey! Could I do light weight training with machines? Can I use a bike/tower?

These seem like very high risks even if they only hold a small risk be cashed they can truly affect the quality of ones life.

    Thank you Dr. Jo, these seem to work for me. Both sports and inguinal hernia are tears in the abdomen or groin, so why would exercises heal one and not the other? Because I already googled the diagrams, they look near identical and I know I'm not the only person confused about this.

    Hey Doc! I have been diagnosed with an inguinal hernia on my right side that is about 0.7 inches. My doctor assured me that it is far from critical at this stage, and I will have my operation in about 2 months. I have been a weight lifter for 3 years now and I do not want to take a long hiatus before my operation. Can I keep lifting weights (doing traditional lifts such as deadlifts and squats) while paying extra attention on my breathing to avoid abdominal pressure? (With considerably lighter weights of course) Or would it worsen the tear on my hernia?
    Apologies for the long question, thanks a lot in advance!

    Hey doc, was playing basketball a few days ago, and felt a strange kind of discomfort in my groin area whilst playing. I tend to play very jerky with quick changes in direction etc. The pain has changed now (1-2 days later), I am having discomfort right below my belly button/pubis area but only when I cough or press down on the area. Do you think it is a sports hernia? Should I have it checked out or wait a few days and see if it goes away? How do you know if it is a hernia or just a strain/tear?

    • @baburali8230
      @baburali8230 6 років тому +2

      Also had pain in my lower spine after playing (I played for around 3 hours straight after a few weeks), do you think this is related to the groin pain or is it an isolated event? Would really appreciate a reply, thanks!

    • @AskDoctorJo
      @AskDoctorJo  6 років тому +1

      Sounds like it's worth going to get checked by your doctor just in case. Good luck.

    I was lifting weights but then I got tired and did some crunches. Doing a crunch, I suddenly felt an intense pain on my right side where my external obliques are near my groin. I stopped there instantly and just rested for the remainder of the day. I pressed down with my fingers near where that spot was. I tried not to do any exercises in which there is an increase in intra-abdominal pressure. My pain still goes towards the groin so I mean it looks like a classic case of sports hernia. I'm doing stretches now, mostly lunges and gradual leg presses while pressing down why my hand at that spot. This helps a lot. I really don't want surgery for this kind of thing. So I'm going to try my best to strengthen those muscles and hopefully, the aponeurosis over the external oblique heals.

      You're welcome. If you are not sure what it is, you need to go see your doctor. Sports hernias and inguinal hernias are different.

    Thank you so much for the information! Quick question - I’ve been battling a sports hernia for the past 7 months now. When trying to do these exercises, there’s a good bit of pain I’m experiencing. Should I push through or just meet with a surgeon if even these exercises are painful? Let me know your thoughts; thank you again!

    • @AskDoctorJo
      @AskDoctorJo  Рік тому

      You're welcome! Unfortunately, I don't know that answer since I can't evaluate you. Everyone is different. If there is any way you can see a physical therapist in person, they should be able to help you figure out a specific program for you and help answer your questions.

    Hello Doctor Jo! I really need your help!
    I have had pain in the groin/upper inner thigh area for 10 years now. The pain just never completely go away, sometimes it get better, sometimes it get worst. Doctor said I may had a chronic groin strain. Another doctor look at the MRI and said they find inflammation of the inner upper thigh muscle (show in lighter color on the MRI) and they also did an ultrasound and said their is a lump in their which they dont know what it is, and suggest may be sports hernia.
    What is your advise on my case? It is sounds like sports hernia to you? I'm very worry and cannot even sleep.

    • @AskDoctorJo

      It could be, but unfortunately, I don't know without getting to evaluate you in person. Have you been to see a physical therapist?

  • @ayitscliffton5559

    Recently I suffered what 'felt like' a groin injury while jumping from a 3 step approach to touch the bball rim. (Currently 30) I'm a former HS track athlete but no training/stretching since the glory days. The pain subsided in about 30 min but I felt discomfort over the next week. After dr. visit and ultra sound, no hernia. However I do feel pressure/tugging whenever I have a deep hard sneeze that is also subsiding each week that has gone by. I am still able to jog and graduate into a run. I am able to squat with control. However any movement that is explosive I do where I feel like I'm at 90% or more such as a powerful vertical jump, standing to sprint, sudden change or directions with velocity, I feel the issue again. My first question is why do I only feel pain or discomfort during explosive movements and not in controlled movements & 2nd, what type or stretching/strength training can I do to help rehab this? Dr just said don't do it again lol. But Id rather be proactive and try to get back into shape. Only problem is, I still don't know the problem. Don't know if its glute related, upper hamstring, hip flexor, groin??

    • @AskDoctorJo
      @AskDoctorJo  5 років тому +1

      Unfortunately, I don't know either since I can't evaluate you. If you can, you should go see a physical therapist for an evaluation to narrow it down. That could be a number of things.
