What are the symptoms of a hip flexor strain?

Symptoms of a hip flexor strain usually present as pain in the affected area, which can worsen with movement, as well as tenderness and swelling. In more severe cases, a person might experience discomfort in their lower back or thighs due to their hips being unbalanced from the injury. Pain after long periods of inactivity or intense activities such as running are also signs that a person has strained their hip flexor. Those who experience any of these symptoms should seek medical attention right away to avoid further aggravation of their condition.

What are the treatments for a hip flexor strain?

Treatment for a hip flexor strain typically includes chiropractic methods or massage therapy to help minimize the pain, as well as physiotherapy exercises to help restore flexibility. Seeing a chiropractor or physiotherapist can provide advice on how to manage the injury and develop a plan of action for recovery. After an acute strain has been taken care of and physical activity is resumed, massage therapy will become even more beneficial as it helps with both recovery and prevention of future injury.
