Reply With QuoteThanks, everyone for the advice. After 4 days of doing the stretches, my groin is almost completely better. I was up doing yoga at 4 AM yesterday!
The knees and calves are better, too. I am going to go x country skiing after work today, since it looks like we are getting a big rainstorm Friday and that might be the last of the snow. I will be taking it very easy on a local trail, with no big climbs.
I thought I might be on my bike this coming weekend, but not sure how that looks now.

You might also consider a osteopathic doctor (D.O.) in addition/instead of just PT. Both my DO and my PT did manipulation for the whiplash I suffered in a car accident, but they didn't just rely on that, like a chiro might. It really helped.

In addition to all the good suggestions about PT and stretching and all that, make sure you've got enough electrolytes. Calcium, potassium, and magnesium are the most important ones to make sure you're not getting muscle cramps due to imbalances or deficiencies.
It's a little counterintuitive to think about this problem in winter time, we always think of it as a summertime dehydration/sweat problem.
