Adductor Muscles: Part 1

**This video is for teaching purposes only. Please consult a doctor for proper diagnosis. Massage therapist, stay within your scope of practice.


The adductor muscles, situated on the inner thigh, play a vital role in hip adduction, stabilizing the pelvis, and facilitating movements like walking and maintaining balance. Massaging the adductors can offer numerous benefits, including increased flexibility, reduced muscle tension, and improved circulation. Targeting these muscles is particularly beneficial for athletes and individuals engaged in activities demanding lateral leg movements such as soccer players. Techniques such as effleurage, petrissage, myofascial release, neuromuscular, medical massage and trigger point therapy can effectively release tension in the adductors. However, therapists should approach with care, as deep pressure near the groin area requires sensitivity. Common injuries to the adductors include strains and overuse injuries, emphasizing the importance of tailored massage sessions to aid in recovery, prevent future issues, and enhance overall lower body functionality.
