Baseball / Softball Injury

The groin, or the inguinal region, plays a crucial role in the body's movement and stability, making it susceptible to strains in baseball and softball players. Comprising a complex network of muscles, including the adductors, hip flexors, and abdominal muscles, the groin facilitates hip movements, balance, and stability during dynamic actions like running, jumping, and changing direction. As baseball and softball players engage in rapid, forceful motions while batting, fielding, and running the bases, the groin muscles are put under considerable stress. This repetitive strain, coupled with inadequate warm-up or conditioning, increases the likelihood of groin strains in these athletes.
