Can one search the messages on this message board? I am interested in finding out any info on past results with fixing chronic groin strains due to a sports injury, specifically horsebackriding (lots of vigorous jumping, galloping cross country, dressage; not just a walk on the trail ;-). No specific accident or incident, just seems to be from over use. Interestingly, the groin on the opposite side that is injured right now gave me the same problem for about 10 years on and off. I do have a slight scoliosis, so I suspect that is an underlying root cause. I just started PT under the care of a physical therapist who uses TMR, so I'm trying to learn as much as possible about the methodology. I am excited about the prospect of being able to "fix" myself eventually. Thanks for any help.

You are bringing a common assumption into your question. By noting the location of your injury you are attempting to deduce the best TMR motion or motions for release. However, the program doesn't work that way. Instead, with an open mind and under the guidance of your therapist, use the TMR Fab 5 to "tell you" where the problems are. Your body won't mislead you.
You will come to recognize that most orthopedic problems we see in the clinic stem from musculofascial tension that is invested somewhere in the body, often away from the site of pain or breakdown. Once this is identified, it is then treated out.
Whether your problem is in your foot, knee, groin, low back, shoulder, neck, etc, the initial approach is the same. Should problems remain after using this approach, local techniques may be utilized. An experienced TMR therapist will be able to guide you along with this rationale.

I had a recent patient who had a very bad right groin strain brought on when the horse she was riding "spooked." I'm not a horse guy, but this lady is pretty big into horse shows/training, etc. Anyway, on her first day in PT, I identified a significant difference in her arm raise (right arm much worse than left) and after 4 to 6 sets of a 20 sec. raise of her left arm her groin pain reduced from an 80 to 25. WOW!! She ultimately recovered much quicker with the whole TMR approach than she would have if we used "traditional" methods.

I wish there was a search on the message board, however there is not. I can tell you that there is no mention of a groin injury (that I rememember), but we have dealt with several of them. If you would like to give me a call at 919 749 2106 I would be happy to talk with you or you can email me at totalmotion@gmail.com

I have not treated many groin inj. (prior to TMR anyway). I would recommend fab five to start. then test motions on both sides, ie internal/external rotation, ab/adduction (your PT will know what these are). another test that you can do is (external rotation) sit and cross one leg "figure four" with your ankle on your knee. does one side move "better" go to the good side
