Sore Groin Sore Glut

If your butt, groin and thigh muscles hurt like mine, it's likely the adductor muscles need attention.




There's five of them. They extend from the pelvis to the thigh bone and the pelvis to the knee.





The adductors main function is to pull the legs together.



I find the lateral extension difficult to do, however I'm doing it better now than I did six weeks ago.

There are two lateral extensions in the Hip and Knee Clinic booklet. If you are just starting the program I recommend you do those as much as you can prior to surgery.
