Grade 1, 2 or 3?
Groin strains, as with all muscle tears, are graded 1, 2, or 3 depending on how bad they are. Grade one is a minor tear where less than 10% of fibres are damaged. Grade 2 is a moderate tear and can be anything from 10 to 90% of fibres torn. For this reason, grade 2 injuries are often termed 2+ or 2-. Grade 3 injuries are the most serious being either partial or full ruptures.

Symptoms of a groin strain
Grade 1

Discomfort in the groin or inner thigh. This may not be noticed until after exercise stops.
The groin muscles will usually feel tight.
There may be an area which is tender to touch
Walking is normal, discomfort may only be when running or even just on changes in direction.
