How Groin Injuries Quietly Limit Athletic Performance

Groin injuries rarely start with a loud pop. More often, they quietly undermine athletic performance through deep, hidden dysfunction. Our integrative care model addresses groin injuries early — protecting both careers and longevity.

Common Groin Injury Patterns:

  • Adductor strains

  • Sports hernias (athletic pubalgia)

  • Obturator dysfunction

  • Pelvic floor involvement

How We Intervene:

  • Dry needling to adductors, obturators, glutes

  • Pelvic stabilization protocols

  • Red light therapy for tissue repair

  • Fascial decompression cupping

The B.O.X. Method™ Sequence:

  • Break: Deactivate deep trigger points

  • Optimize: Restore blood flow and mobility

  • eXpand: Train pelvic control under load

Ideal Candidates:
