DD is having pain in her groin/hip flexor area from pitching. Anyone else experience this and if so did you isolate the cause?

DD went through some of it last year. It would come and go. Or at least her complaining about it would come and go. Hers never got really bad. We found deep stretching before and after helped. And I could tell she shortened her stride a little.

Eventually it went away on its own. Just seemed to be a growth pain.

She seems to think it's the length of stride. She has not been a serious pitcher in years but the team is short handed and the coach worked her a lot last week. I've passed on the ideas. thanks

For the most part it was the length of stride as well for DD. We were trying to get her to push it and the body just wasn’t ready yet. So we backed off and she stopped mentioning it as much.

Once her body becomes more conditioned and built back up it should go away.
