This 6-hour webinar combines evidence-based practice with expert clinical practice in the evaluation and management of chronic groin pain in athletes. The authors and presenters of this webinar will unpack new information regarding the history and new terminology of chronic groin pain in athletes. The presenters also discuss the latest key clinical examination findings associated with injury as well as the pathomechanics behind groin pain in athletes. Crucially, the management strategies in accordance with the sport-specific demands of the athlete are discussed in detail.
