    A friend of mine has just come down with gilmore groin and is wondering is there an alternative treatment then surgery?

    Yes, resting it and doing nothing but rehab-training for the adductors/iliopsoas-area can help. In other words, I think one should lay off sprinting and other hard, explosive movements for a while and focus on stretching it along with light (progressively harder) training for it.
    I've done this and had some improvement, but recently had a setback doing some sprints which I guess was too early. Also, one could check with a physiotherapist to see if there is any shift in your hip/pelvis that makes the damaged muscles re-tear because the muscles are set in a stretched position.

    Surgery should always be a last resort. What did your friend end up doing?

    I know someone who rehabbed it and discovered the cause of the problem- tight psoas- during the rehab. If he'd gone the surgery route he may not have discovered that and just done it again.

    There defo is a rehab option but I would only go to the top level sports guys to get it done.

    Ironhide, I don't know who you are or what your agenda is but when you sign up here to reply to a thread that's two and a half years old and question my locking of another old thread by pm, then I have my suspicions.

    Locked.
