How will i know when my groin injury has recovered and i can get back to soccer?

Pain free resistance: Adequate rest for a groin injury is essential for recovery. Once you are pain free with groin stretching, then advance to resisted groin exercises. If you can do this pain free, i would return to light jogging and ensure that the adductors are rock solid before returning to explosive sports. There is nothing worse than resting a groin pull and then reinjuring it due to inadequate rehabilitation.

Functional testing: First, you need to be pain-free with everyday activities. Then, you may begin low-risk, cardio such as biking, elliptical or power walking. If no pain, then progress to light jogging. Then, move on to sprinting, followed then by changing directions/cutting. Finally, progress to soccer-related activities like dribbling and kicking. If you remain pain-free through all of these stages, you are ready.
