    Default Pulled groin...

    I was playing a baseball game on our high school team. I play 1st base, and we played pretty well. At my second at-bat, I hit a grounder to the shortstop, and sprinted to 1st. I beat out the throw, but pulled my groin when I stretched to the base... Any help on how to rapidly heal it? Rest? Ice?

    Ice and remember always wear a cup if you were not before (I'm pretty sure it's against the rules @schools and @most leagues anyway)

    I'm not sure if it's required for infield positions, (except catcher) but I think I should. Thanks for the advice

    It is HIGHLY recommended ( I pitch and play first, love it). I would rest it, stretch it after a long hot compress followed by some ice. Ice it for very short periods of time, 5-10 minutes. Hot compress for 25-30 minutes. Look up some stretches that are gentle (Butterfly, lunges ect..) Then start to do some jogging if possible, very easy and relaxed pace, this will get blood flowing through the body and help it heal faster, also eat high protein and very healthy foods during this time and sleep to help give your body all the tools it needs to fix itself (:

    From past experience, physical trainer advice (is my neighbor, asked him :P )

    Oh, man. Take it easy dude. If it feels better, go ahead and play ball! If there's still pain, let it heal. 99% of guys will try and be hardasses and ignore the pain. I learned my lesson bout that via a torn hip flexor. 4 months have passed already and I'm healed up, besides not really being able to deadlift anymore

    In case of a muscle trauma, the general practice is to apply cold+not move for a short time and give it warmth and recovering movement the days/weeks that follow.
