Groin pain is an umbrella term encompassing a great range of pathologies in the inner hip region. It may not prevent you from participating but rest does not seem to settle it.
The hardest question to answer is: where is it coming from? A systematic history is essential to firstly exclude non-musculoskeletal drivers of pain.

Davies et al. (2012) dissected cadavers and found that the adductor longus (one groin muscle) and the rectus abdominus (your six-pack) fuse together. The adductor brevis and gracilis (two more groin muscles) also fuse together. So it is not as simple as individual muscles working in a team.

A clinical examination will investigate whether the pain is related to the adductors, abdominals, hip flexor, the individual architecture of the sacroiliac and/or femoroacetabular joint (such as bone stress or labral tears) or even an abdominal hernia.

Palpation is key.

Once a diagnosis is established, an appropriate program can be built to challenge deficits in strength, flexibility, control and movement strategies.
