To understand how to eliminate trouble, let's consider in detail this trauma and also its symptoms.
How does the hip muscle strain arise?
It is already a little told above about why there can be a similar trauma. But better to understand the reasons of its emergence, it should be noted that most often it arises at attacks and moves legs, sharp movements of this type can cause injury of muscles to this area.
The main symptoms of a muscle strain of a hip are:

How to treat a hip muscle strain?
For a start let's talk about what large muscles are in this area. The hip has chetyrekhglavy (lobby) and the bringing muscle in the building. Also allocate back group of muscles which consists of three muscles. At injury of the bringing muscle of people feels hip pain in a groin, at an injury of a front muscle there are feelings on an outer surface of a leg.

Further we estimate a situation, we look whether hematomas developed, and whether pain after a quarter of hour abates. When unpleasant feelings are simply intolerable and do not become less and also at appearance of hematomas, it is necessary to call the ambulance immediately. If there are no similar symptoms, and pain is quite tolerant or develops only at sharp movements of a certain type, it is possible to try to cope with a problem independently. Let's consider approximate actions on the example of elimination of consequences of stretching by the four-head of a muscle of a hip.
