Club Workshops

Bring The Groin Physio Masterclass to Your Club.

 

From online learning to hands-on application, tailored education for club medical and performance teams.

 

The Groin Physio course can also be delivered in-house for professional and semi-professional sports organisations.

 

Many clubs opt for a format in which staff first complete The Groin Playbook online course, ensuring that all participants arrive at the workshop with a shared baseline understanding of hip and groin pain in athletes. This enables the in-person session to focus entirely on practical clinical application and problem-solving, rather than revisiting theory.

 

The hands-on workshop is highly practical and tailored to the needs of the club. During the session, we work through common clinical scenarios and practice both manual techniques and active management strategies relevant to hip and groin pain in athletes.

 

Depending on the needs of the organisation, the program can include:

  • Online preparation through The Groin Playbook
  • Hands-on clinical workshop with the medical and performance staff
  • Follow-up reflection session to review cases and support implementation in practice

 

The reflection session can be delivered online or in person, depending on the club’s preference. Some organisations choose a second hands-on session to continue refining clinical skills.

 

Sessions can be adapted to the sport, staff structure and specific challenges faced by the team.

 

This format is particularly relevant for sports with high running and kicking demands, such as football, rugby, Australian rules football and ice hockey.

 

The sessions are suitable for physiotherapists, sports doctors, strength & conditioning coaches and other members of the performance staff involved in athlete care.

 

 

What You’ll Learn

The sessions focus on practical clinical skills that can be applied directly within the club environment, including:

  • structured assessment of hip and groin pain in athletes
  • identifying common clinical patterns in running and kicking sports
  • combining manual treatment and active rehabilitation strategies
  • improving clinical decision-making and load management
  • integrating groin management within the medical and performance team

The goal is always the same: to provide clear, practical strategies that can be implemented immediately in daily practice.
