What it is
Hockey's skating stride, explosive changes of direction, shooting mechanics, and contact create a distinctive injury profile: groin and hip flexor strains lead the list, followed by hip impingement, shoulder injuries from contact, and low back overload.
How we treat it
Groin and hip problems respond exceptionally well to targeted adductor and hip strengthening — the research here is strong — combined with hands-on treatment and a graded return-to-skate progression. For contact injuries, we rebuild strength and stability to genuine return-to-play readiness, not just 'feels okay in the gym.' Beer league or rep team, the standard is the same: back on the ice with the engine rebuilt.
