Summary

Background: Groin pain associated with adductor tendinopathy is the second cause of muscle pathology in a football player (20%), so a good treatment taking into account both internal and external factors that may influence the pathology of our patient, would be the key to an improvement in the symptoms he may have. Material and methods: Firstly, the pain threshold is measured by performing the Copenhagen compression test, and in a palpation at the proximal level of the adductors, the hip joint range (ROM) is measured and the HAGOS questionnaire is passed. Then, a sample of 20 participants (N = 20) is selected and randomly divided into two groups, a control group of 10 participants (n = 10), with a treatment based on electrotherapy combined with an exercise programme; and an experimental group of 10 participants (n = 10) with a treatment based on manual therapy combined with an exercise programme. Finally, they performed all measurements.
