torn hip flexor (Read 1633 times)

my coach thinks that i might have torn my hip flexor, and i am going to go tomorrow to get it checked out by the trainer to find out for sure. i was just wondering what typically goes into the healing process, and if surgery is necessary. if anyone could help i would appreciate it.

I'd go to the doctor. I've put mine in a spasm before, took lots of stretching every 60 minutes to fix.

i had a badly strained hip flexor last July. It was a result of a combination of having weak glutes (that forced my hip flexor to work over time) and increasing my mileage too quickly. One day after a run, I could barely walk. I had to do 3 days a week of physical therapy for about 6 weeks. They stretched me a ton (ouch)...had me do a number of excerices to strenghten the glutes and my core (which i had to repeat at home). They also did a lot of icing, some ultrasound, and dry needling. The dry needling worked wonders.
