One of my athletes has had a recurring issue with his adductor. He is almost 15 yrs old and had been growing steadily. No obvious growth spurt -just steady height gain. He is about 5'10" and should be at least 6' to 6'2" based on father.

He developed a badly sprained ankle during basketball season this winter and was encouraged to wear stiff ankle braces during the spring soccer season. He did undergo PT for the ankle.

His hamstrings are extremely tight, too, and he did complain about this during the season.

Could his adductor issue be related to weakness of glute meds, tightness/weakness of hamstrings, and change in gait due to ankle braces?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
