Another Sports Hernia expert missing on your list is Jeff Hoadley, the surgeon in Atlanta who consults on groin pain with the NFL Atlanta Falcons, NHL Atlanta Thrashers, University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, and many other athletes in the southeast. His website, SportsHerniaSouth.com has info on sports hernia anatomy, diagnosis, and treatment methods, physical rehab, and links to medical articles and websites about sports hernia.
I am a physician who was preparing to have sports hernia surgery. I noticed surgery sometimes involved adductor releases so I decided to stretch mine. After 3 days of sleeping prone with my hip flexed and external rotated I am completely pain free for the first time in 6 months. It's worth a try!!!
I tried externally rotatating hip hip while sleeping with no look. I ultimately had to get surgery. You might add this site to your page as well, it has a very in-depth look at sports hernias:
