Can You Strain Or Pull Your Sartorius Muscle?

Can you strain or pull your sartorius muscle?? I am looking up the anatomy of my hip and thigh because I have been getting pain in that area. Is it called a hip pointer and what can I do to help it? I do and teach yoga and that helps a ton. Just wondering what you think?
Thanks,
Jennifer

yes sartorius can get pulled.but the symptoms that you are describing are different from that of a muscle pull.
I would like to check yourself for presence of any lump in that area, especially when you cough.
if so then I would ask you to visit your nearby GP,it could be inguinal hernia.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
