00:03 - 00:08Hey guys, what's going on, my name is Rick Richie, I am here with B2C talking about the
00:08 - 00:11adductors stretch.
00:11 - 00:17Adductors are, obviously they adduct, they're also hip flexors, very important, very indicative
00:17 - 00:25muscle to stretch for lumbo pelvic hip dysfunction, so if somebody has an anterior pelvic tilt,
00:25 - 00:30this, also indicated stretch for someone who has adduction in an exercise, so if their
00:30 - 00:32knees start to knock together.
00:32 - 00:36I have Brent here, he's going to take you through the stretches.
00:36 - 00:40So, Brent, go ahead, and feet completely straight ahead, you're going to step outside of your
00:40 - 00:45shoulder width, and the first thing you're going to do is a posterior pelvic tilt, so
00:45 - 00:51posterior tilt, there you go, just that tuck underneath, remember, it does anterior tilt,
00:51 - 00:53so to stretch it we'll go posterior tilt.
00:53 - 01:00Face back toward the camera, and hips wide, and posterior pelvic tilt, fantastic, and
01:00 - 01:05we're going to stretch the left leg here, so I'm going to have you step forward with
01:05 - 01:12your right leg just a bit, so it creates extension at the hip here, and then, that posterior
01:12 - 01:17tilt included, shift sideways so your abducting this left leg.
01:17 - 01:18Do you feel the stretch Brent?
01:18 - 01:19Oh yeah.
01:19 - 01:23So the stretch going on right here, again indicated in lumbo pelvic hip dysfunction
01:23 - 01:25and lower extremity dysfunction.
01:25 - 01:32Thank you.
