The hip adductor muscles include the pectineus, adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magnus, and gracilis. This course includes an in-depth review of anatomy and techniques for mobility and strength.

Adductor Muscles

The effects of movement dysfunction (reduced eccentric hip abduction strength, glute medius and maximus weakness, valgus knee, knee bow in, and greater trunk displacement), have on knee pain, knee injury, ACL (ligament) tears, patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), and pathology. The reliability, validity, and application of assessment and intervention on knee bow in and lower extremity dysfunction (feet flatten and feet turn out) on preventing hip, knee, and ankle pain. 

Does Movement Impairment Precede Knee Pain and Injury?

Knowing hip internal rotator release and lengthening techniques can reduce hip pain, knee pain, etc. and improve fitness performance.

Hip Internal Rotator: Release and Lengthening

Learn how to perform a standing static stretch for the adductor muscles with this guided tutorial from the Brookbush Institute. This self-administered technique is ideal for improving hip mobility, reducing muscle tension, and integrating flexibility work into busy daily routines.
