Football Physio - Help!

[natty1905]

heya guys,
i worked for a year for a non league club and found that it made me gain so much confidence and skills that i never learnt at university, ive been able to move onto working with both a rugby club and another football club too now part time but i definately feel it has helped me a lot. I started with little experience, i had a sports science degree with no pitch side work but with time you pick up a lot of tricks.

in regard to the recurrent adductor strain do u feel that its definately only a strain and not a level of tear present. these injuries can present as strains and even once it may have settled down the fibres may not have totally be repaired therefore with any explosive movements it may re occur. I have found that ultrasound for this sub acute phase may work well.
Maybe check any changes in footwear along with the players warm up, does it include dynamic stretches or just a bog standard static stretching regime.

I was always led to believe a strain was a level of muscle tear.

Strain is actually a damage caused by over stretching of muscle tissue.
