Adductor Magnus (Posterior) SA Static Release

Adductor Magnus (Posterior) Static Release is a form of self-myofascial release that is used to target the posterior portion of the adductor magnus muscle. This technique helps to reduce tension within the muscle, as well as reduce pain and promote healing. It's also used to improve flexibility and range of motion in the hips. This technique involves lying on the floor on your side and placing a foam roller perpendicular to the direction of your body. Slowly roll

This is Brent, President of B2C Fitness, and

00:00:0200:00:07

we're talking about myofascial release

00:00:0700:00:12

of the posterior head of the adductor magnus. I'm going to have my friend, Salvi, come

00:00:1200:00:17

up, help me show off the anatomy, as well as demonstrate this release technique.

00:00:1700:00:22

Now, the posterior head of the adductor magnus inserts into the adductor tubercle,

00:00:2200:00:27

which is just above the inside of the knee, and then connects into the ischium,

00:00:2700:00:31

or ischial tuberosity, all the way through the groin region. Now, the

00:00:3100:00:35

posterior head of the adductor magnus, through fascial slips, connects to

00:00:3500:00:40

something called your sacral tuberous ligament, which means if there is any dysfunction

00:00:4000:00:45

in the sacrum, the SI joint, people who get low back pain in this region, as well

00:00:4500:00:50

as the lumbosacral region, so some low back pain, there is a chance that this muscle

00:00:5000:00:54

here is going to start to develop some trigger points, and start to become a bit

00:00:5400:00:59

overactive. So what we're going to need to do, is start releasing some of those

00:00:5900:01:04

trigger points, and calm this muscle down. The easiest way to do that, is to use a soft

00:01:0400:01:09

ball, and find something high enough to sit on so that your legs dangle. So, Salvi

00:01:0900:01:15

is just going to sit on this flat box we've got here, she's going to use this

00:01:1500:01:21

ball to search the inner part of the back of her thigh.

00:01:2100:01:26

So you can go ahead and roll from groin region, all the way down to the inside of

00:01:2600:01:31

your knee. I want you to look for the most tender point.

00:01:3100:01:33

-Found it. Good.

00:01:3400:01:38

I want you to totally relax, sit,

00:01:3800:01:43

and then she can use this arm to kind of stabilize her leg, because if the ball is

00:01:4300:01:47

on the inside of her leg, your leg kind of has a tendency to want to roll off this

00:01:4700:01:51

way, so she's nice and stable, totally relaxed, she's going to hold that

00:01:5100:01:58

position for 30 seconds to 2 minutes, without fidgeting, or until she feels a

00:01:5800:02:04

release. So that is static myofascial release for the posterior
