Learn how to properly perform a posterior adductor magnus self-administered static release in this comprehensive step-by-step instructional video from the Brookbush Institute. This evidence-based video provides expert coaching on setup, positioning, alignment, and technique (including progressions and regressions). Safely reduce posterior adductor magnus hypertonicity, improve hip mobility, and decrease medial thigh tension while supporting optimal hip and knee mechanics. Suitable for all fitness levels. Perfect for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and rehabilitation clients seeking to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore optimal movement mechanics while reducing injury risk.

Adductor Magnus (Posterior) SA Static Release

This is Brent, President of B2C Fitness, and we're talking about myofascial release of the posterior head of the adductor magnus. I'm going to have my friend, Salvi, come up, help me show off the anatomy, as well as demonstrate this release technique. Now, the posterior head of the adductor magnus inserts into the adductor tubercle, which is just above the inside of the knee, and then connects into the ischium, or ischial tuberosity, all the way through the groin region. Now, the posterior head of the adductor magnus, through fascial slips, connects to something called your sacral tuberous ligament, which means if there is any dysfunction in the sacrum, the SI joint, people who get low back pain in this region, as well as the lumbosacral region, so some low back pain, there is a chance that this muscle here is going to start to develop some trigger points, and start to become a bit overactive. So what we're going to need to do, is start  releasing some of those trigger points, and calm this muscle down. The easiest way to do that, is to use a soft ball, and find something high enough to sit on so that your legs dangle. So, Salvi is just going to sit on this flat box we've got here, she's going to use this ball to search the inner part of the back of her thigh. So you can go ahead and roll from groin region, all the way down to the inside of your knee. I want you to look for the most tender point. -Found it. Good. I want you  to totally relax, sit, and then she can use this arm to kind of stabilize her leg, because if the ball is on the inside of her leg, your leg kind of has a tendency to want to roll off this way, so she's nice and stable, totally relaxed, she's going to hold that position for 30 seconds to 2 minutes, without fidgeting, or until she feels a release. So that is static myofascial release for the posterior head of your adductor magnus. Thank you.

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

Knowing hip external rotator release and lengthening techniques can reduce hip pain, lower back pain, sacroiliac (SI) joint pain, etc., and improve fitness performance.

Hip External Rotator: Release and Lengthening

Self-administered Static Release for the Posterior Fibers of Adductor Magnus:

This muscle is easiest to release sitting on a bench, table, or platform, with the legs "hanging".

Have your patient/client place a softball or similar release tool under the "mass" of their inner thigh.

Have your patient/client slide back and forth, using the release tool to scan the entire adductor complex for tender points (gluteal fold to knee).

Once, the most tender point is located (generally in the center of the mass of the adductors) have your patient hold still on that spot and relax.

Wait for the discomfort to subside or for a "release" (generally 30 - 120 seconds).

Move on to another tender point or the next muscle to be released.

Your adductor magnus is a hip extensor: Your patient or client can reduce or increase tension in the muscle by leaning back or bending forward over the knees (hip flexion and extension). This may aid in providing the optimal amount of tension for release
