The kneeling adductor stretch targets the inner thigh muscles to reduce tightness and improve hip flexibility. By opening the hips in a supported kneeling position, it encourages a controlled stretch that benefits both mobility and comfort. This exercise is commonly used to prepare for sport, enhance movement in daily activities, and assist recovery during rehabilitation.
- For this mobility exercise you may want to utilise a mat underneath the knees or a soft surface.
- Come onto all fours with the knees stacked underneath the hips and the wrists underneath the shoulders.
- Extend the target limb to the side, keeping the sole of the foot flat on the ground.
- To intensify the stretch, press through the hands and rock the bottom towards the heels.
- Sustain this stretch as advised by your treating Physiotherapist.
