A pulled groin is a type of muscle injury. As such, the best way for it to heal is through extensive rest. You need to check in with yourself when you're doing stretches and exercises. A stretch should make your muscle feel like it's tugging beyond its usual range of motion, but it shouldn't hurt. If any of the stretches are causing you pain, stop doing them and rest your muscles. In addition, you should only start stretching after the worst of the pain from a pulled groin has already abated. Overworking your muscles can cause you to injure your groin further, leading to more pain and a longer recovery time.

This gentle, passive stretch is ingenious for allowing deep relaxation and gravity to assist in groin recovery. Lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor, knees bent. Place a yoga block, pillow, or rolled towel under each knee. Slowly let your knees fall open to the sides, bringing the soles of your feet together. The supports under your knees prevent overstretching, allowing your inner thighs to relax and lengthen comfortably. Hold this position for several minutes, focusing on deep breaths, promoting subtle, sustained lengthening without any active muscular engagement.
