We spend most of our day moving straight forward and backward.
The adductors live in a plane of motion we don’t train or stretch often — which is why they tend to feel tight, restricted, or reactive.
Here’s how each position targets that area 👇
1️⃣ Seated Straddle Stretch
- Encourages length through the adductors while reinforcing good posture.
- Keep knees and toes rotated upward, spine long, and hinge forward from the hips.
- Think heart toward the floor rather than rounding through the back.
2️⃣ Adductor Rock Back
- A dynamic stretch that loads the inner thigh while the hips move.
- Keep the foot squared forward and rock the hips back toward the heels, maintaining length in the spine.
- Great for teaching the adductors to lengthen under control.
3️⃣ Frog Pose
- Targets deeper adductor length while challenging hip positioning.
- Knees wide (within comfort), feet flexed, spine long.
- Press through the hands to sit the hips back deeper into the stretch without collapsing the low back.
Stretching the inner thighs can help support:
• Hip and pelvic mobility
• Squatting, lunging, and lateral movement
• Groin comfort and injury resilience
• Better movement control in less-used planes
Move slow. Stay intentional. Let the hips do the work.
