Where is the pain? Hip? Knee? Groin? Ankle?
Second, what kind of pain is it? Burning, shooting, throbbing, achy? WHo is the subject you are referring to? Age, past injury history, gender, limb length, postural assessment?

I am not a dignoser, but I am also a person who wil be quick to tell you that if a exercise bothers you (ie pain), it can be replaced with a host of other movments that target the same area. THere is no need to stick to a particular exercise from a program, if somethng else can be performed to ellicit similar results.
