Targeted Groin Stretch for Tight Hips

- The Adductor Complex is often referred to as "The Groin". These muscles primarily bring the leg back towards midline (adduction), although they have secondary actions of hip flexion and extension.
Therefore, when you're stretching the groin, you'll get more benefit by adding in some hip flexion or extension along with your groin stretch depending on what movements you feel tight in.
For people who have hobbies or sports where you would be running, jumping, kicking, or other quick plyometric type movements, the first variation of going + hip extension would likely be your go to.
For people who have tight groins with actives like squatting, grappling, or other hip flexion dominant lifts, the second variation would likely help a lot.
The third variation in this video is not technically a groin muscle but I add it to the list because it often creates tension around the inside of the thigh. This is the Sartorius muscle. It's a hard one to get to, but this stretch does a good job of hitting the Sartorius higher up in the hip.
While stretching alone isn't a "fix" for groin tension, it is important to address this tension in your warm ups. I typically suggest some kind of loading of the stretches tissues post stretch. Things like Coppenhagen planks or cossack squats are some good examples of this.
