The thighs are composed of several muscles, including the quadriceps and hamstrings, which help bend and extend the hips and knees. The anterior compartment of the thigh is a group of muscles that mostly act to extend the lower limb at the knee. The quadriceps, the largest and most powerful muscle in the body, and the sartorius are the longest muscles.
The hip muscles encompass many muscles of the hip and thigh, whose main function is to act on the thigh at the hip joint and stabilize the pelvis. Without them, walking would be impossible. The anterior compartment also includes the sartorius, quadriceps femoris muscles (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius), psoas major, and rectus femoris. These four muscles come together to form a single tendon that inserts into the patella or kneecap.
Adductors, consisting of five muscles: gracilis, obturator externus, adductor brevis, adductor longus, and adductor magnus, are located on the inside of the thigh, starting at the pelvis and extending to the femur (thigh bone). These inner thigh muscles are called adductors and are attached to the pelvic (hip) bone.
The quadriceps and hamstrings work together to straighten and bend the leg, while the adductor muscles pull the legs together. Hamstring muscles on the thighs are also essential for proper posture and balance. Overall, the thighs house some of the biggest muscles in the body, helping to maintain alignment and function in various activities.

📹 How to Fix Adductor Muscle Pain in 30 SECONDS
Dr. Rowe shows how to get quick and long-lasting relief for adductor muscle tightness and pain A common cause of painful …
I’ve had this for SIX months, and it’s pulling on my low back/SI joint on same side. Gonna try this, used to do these all the time and just forgot about them, thank you!!! On the last one, I have a tedious meniscus on the left knee (right side is my bad groin side) will that lunge aggravate the meniscus? Thank you!
Dr Rowe… you are brilliant! Your movement exercises have helped me so much when I get things out of whack. I once over exercised with the inner thigh machine at the gym and got adductors stronger than the outer leg muscles. It messed up my hips. Do you have an exercise hack for when that happens and the hips lock up?
Love these and can’t wait to integrate them into my practice. To make these beneficial to the whole body and support the strengthening and lengthening of your adductors try these 2 things: 1. Ensure your ribs and hips are stacked and core fully engaged (rather than sink into your shoulders and torso) 2. Count breaths rather than seconds.
Ok..I’m an amputee…left leg BKA.. Can I still do these? Prosthetic off or on? My “good” leg is my adductor groin strain leg..been doing isometrics..roller squeeze…1 week..injury 3 weeks now..pain still insane..would be easier if pain meds worked they dont..even anti inflammatory…ice..opiods..nothing is working.. Any suggestions..???
After waking up this morning with a sore left adductor, I struggled to keep up with my kids during a three-hour walk in the park. When I returned home, I found this article, and it’s incredible how quickly it relieved my pain—within just 10 minutes. Now, I can walk without any discomfort. Thanks Dr. Rowe
Is this advised if you have so much pain that came out of nowhere it HURTS to do any of those! Ithurts just laying in bed, waking me up, can barely walk…I feel like all those muscles are strained, and need rest … body surfing and dancing on the beach. I’m fit and workout regularly, so idk where this came from literally overnight
I don’t even know what exact muscle hurts so bad, but it better get fixed because the pain is so overwhelming I can’t even walk properly! I gotta hang my right leg, keeping it away from any sorts of voluntary movement and instead leave all the work to my left one. I gotta make it crawl for the whole body. Worst of all is that I don’t even know where this pain has come from, the only thing I’ve done is hanging out with my friends.
3:21 as I am lowering, my hips feel like they are tilting up towards the ceiling, essentially feeling like my buttocks are trying to raise off the floor. 6:02 during this exercise, when I raise my affected leg, i do not feel it in the inner thigh at all. I feel this in the outer part of the hip, thats it, and it feels like a cramp. I can only raise my leg about 30 degrees from horizontal 6:45 I can barely turn my foot in or out, when I do so, my cramp feels worse. I am not sure if I am just not flexible enough, but if other people are experiencing this, I would like to know as I hate feeling like I am doing something wrong that seems relatively simple.
wow!!! ‘this really fixed my tail bone thanks!!!!!!:face-red-heart-shape::body-blue-raised-arms::trophy-yellow-smiling::cat-orange-whistling::body-blue-raised-arms::face-purple-smiling-fangs::face-blue-question-mark::stayhome::dothefive::face-blue-covering-eyes::face-red-heart-shape::body-green-covering-eyes::face-turquoise-drinking-coffee::planet-orange-purple-ring::face-blue-droopy-eyes::face-blue-three-eyes:
