Everyone knows it and no one wants it — pubic inflammation. Unfortunately, once it is there, it is very difficult to get rid of it. Why is that so?
In addition to the thigh, knee or ankle, the groin region is one of the typical problem areas for a soccer player.
In particular, high-intensity, eccentric loads such as landings and stopping movements often lead to groin or adductor strain. If these loads permanently exceed the load capacity of the structures of the groin region, inflammatory changes can also occur at the base of the pubic bones (including pubic inflammation).
We have summarized for you below which rehabilitative measures are available and how you can prevent pubic inflammation:
👉 In around 90% of cases, a reduction in stress is sufficient for healing and is not inferior to specific therapeutic measures (see footnote for study)
👉 This stress break can be supplemented by mobilization/treatment of the adductors (fascia roller, mobility) and other physiotherapy measures.
👉 Improving the pelvic-leg axis to stabilize the mainbone
👉 Strengthening the adductors to ensure ball guide/shot load
👉 Improving the ability to move in the hip joint

The upper leg is attached to a sling trainer and assumed a lateral support position. The upper leg is kept stable and the lower leg is brought up to the upper leg. Alternatively, a player can also hold the upper leg.
Integrate this drill into your training and test yourself step by step. If the exercise is too difficult, you can make it easier if you first take a lateral support on the ground and lift your lower leg so that the load is on the upper leg.
