Hockey Injuries and the Psoas QUESTION: Telma, why are groin injuries so common in hockey players and how can they be avoided? Amongst the most common common hockey injuries is groin and knee injuries. Groin injuries are particularly problematic problematic and can disable an athlete from playing out the season. Prevention of these injuries is important to consider consider for any athlete going into the hockey season. From a clinical perspective, what I see most often is the angle of the hip joint. Many athletes have tight psoas muscles. The psoas muscle is a very cieep back muscle. It runs along the lumber spine, then through the front of the hip and inserts onto the inner thigh. Psoas muscle is a hip flexor, flexor, as well as a back extensor. With chronic and long standing tension on the psoas, the athlete is predisposed predisposed to standing in a stooped posture, with the hip at an angle. When this athlete skates, he is not as able to stride out. The athlete athlete is then predisposed to injuring the groin and or the inner knee, depending on the angle at which the athlete athlete is skating. Whenever someone comes to me with a groin and knee injury, the underlying underlying tightness is always in the psoas muscle. I have seen this time after time. In rehabilitating these athletes, it is essential to first address the psoas tension before the groin and knee will heal properly. This is one of the reasons why groin and knee injuries in hockey recur and persist. It is not well recognized that the psoas is the underlying underlying contributor to the Injury. Muscles work in groups of two. There are hip flexors and extensors. One group allows us to bend at the hip (the psoas) the other allows us to stretch our hip backwards (the hamstrings). When the hip flexors are tight, your whole angle of standing changes. You are inclined forwards and your hips are more on an angle. This will predispose you to having groin and knee problems. problems. When a skater gets on the ice, the additional force exerted by skating outwards is a combination that leads to these injuries. In the treatment of these injuries, the psoas muscle must also be addressed. Prevention of these injuries involves stretching the psoas muscle in your warm up. Because the psoas muscle is a very deep muscle, muscle, to stretch it you need to do Mackenzie extension type exercises. This releases releases the front part of the hip joint. As we go into hockey season, if you are an athlete athlete that has had previous groin and knee injuries, I would recommend that you see your physiotherapist now. Get some muscle balancing balancing done to prevent these injuries from happening happening to you.
