Foam Roll Adductors and Tight Groin Muscles | San Diego Sports Chiropractic

Foam roll adductors and tight groin muscles is an important exercise to help keep the inner thigh healthy. The adductor muscles: adductor brevis, adductor longus, and adductor maximus are important muscles for pelvic, and hip stability. They are also a prime mover for bringing the leg toward midline (adduction) and aid in hip flexion, extension, and rotation. To foam roll adductors effectively, you need to try a couple different positions. Most foam rolling techniques show the laying down, 'frog leg" version, which is an excellent way to foam roll the various adductors. To reach the attachment points near the pelvis, we find it best to stand and step over the foam roller. This foam rolling technique for the adductors allows for easy control into different angles of the muscle and allows you to apply significant pressure into the muscles. By foam rolling tight groin muscles, you will improve range of motion at the hip. It can also help with various conditions such as groin strains, adductor strains, hip pain, knee pain, and back pain. Foam rolling the adductors is especially important in sports that require significant use of those muscles. The side to side movements in hockey, football, soccer, etc. place increased demand on the adductor muscle group. Keeping the adductors flexible and strong will help avoid injury!
