Groin Strain
The hip adductor (groin) muscles run along the medial thigh and are responsible for returning the hip joint from an abducted position to closer in line with the body (adduction) and stabilizing the lower extremity during closed-chain activities such as standing, hopping or propelling off of one limb in a side to side fashion.
Although stretching can sometimes be useful for reducing pain after a strain, research has shown us that the focus should be on resistance training exercises as these will work to restore tissue integrity and help prevent re-injury.
If you need help recovering from an adductor injury or are looking to prevent one, the exercises found in our groin strain program will help you target this muscle group and increase overall tissue capacity.
