💥Hip Adductor Strengthening💥 🎯 The hip adductors are the “inner thigh” muscles, which stabilize the hip joint and also the inner (medial) part of the knee, and pull the leg/hip inward (medially) 💪🏼 Keeping these muscles strong can not only help with function and performance, but also reduce the risk/likelihood of suffering a groin pull or strain 🚨 In addition, if you have suffered an adductor or groin strain, strengthening the area is essential in order to make a full recovery 🎥 Here I de

⁣🌟 90 seconds on the role of your hip adductor muscles in the saddle 🌟⁣ ⁣ ⏰ I’ve set myself a challenge to do some regular 90 second reels talking about our anatomy and the role of different muscles in the saddle.⁣ ⁣ 🙋‍♀️⁣ ⁣This week we looked into the role of the hip adductor muscles in the saddle. This video should help explain a bit more about their role in the saddle and why horse riding is a unique sport for these muscles. ⁣ ⁣ 💥Groin strains are common in equestrians⁣ ⁣ 🏇 Riding is one

⁣🌟 Hip Adductor Mobility Drill 🌟⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 🏇 Hip tightness is common in horse riders and often the hip adductor muscles (muscles on the inside of the thigh and groin) are not targeted for strengthening or mobility. ⁣ ⁣ On Thursday we covered strengthening exercises for the hip adductors. Today let’s look at some mobility exercises.⁣ ⁣ There are five muscles that are responsible for hip adduction: adductor magnus, adductor longus, adductor brevis, gracilis and obturator externus.
