This post is a follow-up to Groin Pain, or On Athletes, Pain, and Discipline, where I gave advice to a Kyokushin karate fighter who was experiencing groin pain (pubalgia).

Recently he sent me this photo, showing the result of following my advice on dealing with his groin pain.

Alan Bacci, age 43, does hanging side split to show full recovery from pubalgia.

Here is what he wrote:

Following your advice on treating my groin inflammation and pain (pubalgia), I am now able to train again and use your methods presented in your books and DVDs. Thank you very much!

Yours gratefully,

Alan Bacci

My new DVD, had it been available a few months ago, could have prevented his groin inflammation and pain.
