Program content & structure
The program consists of 4 phases and a 5th injury prevention/mitigation phase:
Phase 1
Phase 1 is the acute stage and begins as soon as possible following injury. The aim of phase 1 is to reduce pain and inflammation and allow the muscle to heal.
The emphasis is on rest and protection to enable healing to begin to take place.
Phase 2
This is the early rehabilitation phase. The aim of phase 2 is to continue to protect the area and improve the condition of the muscles.
This not only includes progressive loading of the muscle but also the restoration of function in the ankle, knee, and hip
Phase 3
Phase 3 progresses exercises from phase 2. The aim is to increase Groin muscle strength and endurance.
Exercises become progressively more difficult.
Phase 4
The aim of phase 4 is to increase Groin muscle strength and endurance and prepare for a return to training/play.
Phase 5
This is the late rehabilitation & return to the full training phase. It is followed by a maintenance or injury mitigation phase where you monitor your symptoms and integrate some of the exercises of previous phases into your normal training routine.
