Pain We Treat
Osteitis Pubis & Groin Pain
Melbourne Muscular Therapies
Are you struggling to run, exercise, or move due to a sharp, niggling pain in your groin? This pain may be in the groin itself, at the front of your hip, or at the base of the stomach where your pubic bone is. These are the hallmark signs of osteitis pubis or chronic adductor tendinopathy.
The condition is typically caused by poor biomechanics and muscle imbalances surrounding the hips and pelvis. Overactivity and tension in the adductors, tight lower back, and underactive glutes all pull the pelvis out of alignment. If left untreated, it can become chronic and significantly limit your athletic performance.
Because our Deep Tissue Massage is so slow, deep, and deliberate, our practitioners can access your pain right at the source. Once your pain is eliminated, we take you through an individualised rehabilitation program designed to correct the underlying imbalances and prevent it from coming back.

What Our Clients Say
“I've been to many practitioners and Vanessa is now my only go to.”
Cathy F.
Google Review, Ferntree Gully
“I suffered with chronic lower back pain from a bulging disc and it was preventing me from progressing in my exercise and strength building program. I had tried everything from chiropractic to acupuncture before I was recommended to MMT two years ago. I have since learnt that these guys are the leaders in their field and really understand how my body works. They have not only given me the pain relief that I thought would never happen, they have educated me on how to move correctly and avoid injury.”

“I had pain in my hip & knees for approximately 6 years before coming to see the guys at MMT. I'd tried all kinds of therapies including Physio & Osteo over the years and never really had results to show for the time and money spent. Not only are the guys here genuine, real and authentic but they're also amazing at what they do. Yes, it hurts sometimes but the relief after is 100% worth it.”

Common Questions
FAQ's
Osteitis pubis is inflammation of the pubic symphysis — the joint where the two sides of the pelvis meet at the front. It presents as a sharp, niggling pain in the groin, at the front of the hip, or at the base of the stomach where the pubic bone is. It's common in athletes and anyone with muscular imbalances around the hips and pelvis.
The condition is typically caused by poor biomechanics and muscle imbalances surrounding the hips and pelvis. Overactivity and tension in the adductors (inner thigh muscles), tight lower back, and underactive glutes all contribute. It commonly affects athletes returning after time off, or those performing sudden changes of direction.
Our slow, deep, and deliberate Deep Tissue Massage accesses your pain right at the source — releasing overactive adductors, addressing tension in the lower back and glutes, and restoring pelvic alignment. Once pain is eliminated, we take you through an individualised rehabilitation program to prevent recurrence.
Yes — if left untreated, osteitis pubis can become a chronic condition that significantly limits athletic performance and daily movement. Early intervention with targeted deep tissue treatment and corrective exercise is the most effective way to resolve it fully.
