The groin area is a very sensitive area and any injury to the same can cause not only severe and chronic pain and discomfort, but it can also interfere with the smooth functioning of the muscles in that area―thereby thwarting the mobility and action. The inguinal ligament (white band of fibrous, elastic tissue) is the main ligament that is responsible for supporting the area around the groin and keeping it safe. Its main function is that of preventing the onset of an inguinal hernia or the protrusion of certain portions of the intestine into the muscles of the groin. An inguinal hernia comes about when a portion of the intestines spills out of its normal place and falls into the groin area. This can happen if there has been an injury to the inguinal ligament. While a surgery is often recommended for correcting the hernia, certain inguinal ligament exercises have to be brought into order as a part of the treatment as well. These help in strengthening the ligaments so that a relapse of this form can be prevented. In the following section, we will look through some of the exercises for inguinal ligament injury that can be carried out and comfort brought in thus. The first rule when carrying through any inguinal ligament exercise is to keep in mind that there should be no strain put on the groin region or the injury, lest the hernia worsens. This automatically translates into preventing any action that involves putting pressure on the area by lifting heavy weights, or bending way too much. However, the following exercises can be carried through with ease. Walking is one of the most ideal exercises that can be started out on. It does not put any strain or pressure on the system and yet works to strengthening the body and muscles. Walking goes a long way in increasing the heart rate and burning off extra calories and fat. This then helps in getting the pressure off the system and strengthening the entire abdominal and pelvic region. For maximum effect, walk at a steady pace for at least 45 minutes and concentrate on maintaining a steady and brisk pace. Swimming is another very effective cardiovascular exercise. The water provides for a medium that minimizes the impact of external forces on the inguinal ligament injury as well as leads to the strengthening of the entire body structure and thereby the ligaments as well. Static cycling is done by using a machine which has a chair placed on a cycle and is used to carry forth a low intensity workout. If this equipment is not available, then air cycling (lying on the back with the knees bent at 90 degrees and carrying through the cycling action) can also be done. This exercise directly focuses on strengthening the pelvic region. These are fairly simple exercises which can be carried out and will aid the treatment and recovery, as well as prevent the onset of other symptoms of inguinal ligament tear and injury. However, given the severity of the condition, which will change from one patient to the other, it is always recommended that one consult a doctor before carrying forth these exercises.
