A hip strain occurs when tendons or muscles are stretched or torn.

To avoid the problem, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons advises:

• Protect tissues that have already been injured, as they are more susceptible to another strain.
• Gently stretch and loosen muscles.
• Always warm up before exercise.
• Gradually increase the duration and intensity of exercise. Too much exercise too quickly increases your risk of hip strain.
