Does Inguinal Ligament Has A Tendency For Getting Tight And Preventing Blood Flow Into The Femoral Artery?
I am a sports and remedial practitioner. I've had a number of clients complaining of groin tension combined with feeling a pulse and wondered if you could shine any light onto this?
One client, I worked around his Inguinal ligament and he said he felt a lot of release, warm and blood coming in. I wondered if the inguinal ligament or the surrounding area has a tendency for getting tight and preventing blood flow into the femoral artery?

inguinal ligament stopping or compressing femoral vessels is not possible. I mean biology is more exception than rule but this is not common occurrence, most common problem related to inguinal ligament in athletes is inguinal hernia, which occur due to sudden lifting of heavy weight. if you are too much worried than you can get a Doppler of your clients? this will give good idea of blood flow.
