Groin-Saving Stretches That Will Help You Bounce Back from Injury

9. Deep Glute Stretch

Another great stretch to try for healing a pulled groin is the deep glute stretch. Similar to the previous two stretches, start by lying down on your back. Bring your legs up to a ninety-degree angle and cross your left leg over your right. Grab onto your right thigh. Pull in gently until you feel a stretch in your butt. Hold this position for at least twenty seconds before switching legs (cross your right leg over your left) and repeating the exercise. Flip back again and continue repeating the motion once more on each side. When your strength improves, you can increase the duration of the exercise and the number of repetitions.

10. Gate Stretches

Gate stretches can help a pulled groin. They can also help individuals avoid pulling their groin during a workout. Start by standing on your left leg and lifting your right leg into the air. Raise the right knee up to the level of your hips. Then open your leg and swing it away from your body. This causes a stretch in the groin. Once the 'gate' is open, swing your knee back in front of your body and then lower it to the ground. This is 'closing the gate.' Then repeat with your other leg. Fitness experts recommend doing about ten reps with each leg, though you should stop if you start to feel pain in your pulled groin.
