Man I love your smooth, calm approach. People watching your videos will mostly be people in pain. Your approach, aside from explaining everything clearly, has a certain soothing effect, it also makes me understand the cause and break the problem down into smaller, clear bits so anxiety about the whole thing goes down. Great job, you're a born healer!
I’m glad I discovered this video. I have been suffering from a groin injury for almost a year now, initially injuring it playing baseball. Like you state in the video, we shouldn’t underestimate the mental/emotional pain this injury causes. It is the first injury that has made me feel old (I’m 48). Knowing the pain is located at the Adductor Magnus has really helped me understand what I need to do to heal this area. It is a difficult area to pinpoint the pain. Thank you for the stretches to help with this healing process. Subscribed!
That anatomy and physiology lesson at the start was amazing. Really helped me understand why I’m feeling what I am. Thank you! Adding these to my routine.
Than you for posting these exercises. I have had chronic pain around left sit bone, perineum, and back of leg for 4yrs. I am in total misery, all tests, scans etc show no cause. Your exercises are different to any I have tried so I will try them slowly and carefully.
Hi Margaret oh you poor thing, Im in exactly the same position. Doctors, Physios, ultrasounds, mri-s, xrays, EVERYTHING. I'm trying this too, with hope.
That anatomy and physiology explained the problem very well, I recently strained my adductor magnus lifting bags of cement. the pain didnt start until the next day (doms)
Wow! Finally!! What a well thought out and explanatory video! I’ve had this “gut feeling” something was causing my foot pronation (along with other issues) and this was extremely helpful!
Glad I saw this comment, because this is actually what I am searching for on UA-cam at the moment as I suffer from CPPS. Looking for a good video to follow along to every day for it. Have you found any other good videos on fixing pelvic floor pain?
@lachycummings3765 Unfortunately I have way to much experience dealing with CPPS or pelvic floor dysfunction whatever you want to call it.. I can make a few suggestions that I believe helped me the most. If you're suffering from or have suffered from any mental, physical or psychological trauma whether be it stress, anxiety or other wise I highly recommend addressing all the psychological issues along with the physical. From all my experience there's definitely a neurological aspect to cpps. Begin with cognitive behavior therapy and stress management. Practice mind muscle relaxation techniques. The book A Headache in the Pelvis by Dr David Wise is a must read. This will help give you a better understanding of the condition helping you address the issues a lot better. The pages I found most helpful are the ones that address muscles and postural imbalances. I would definitely recommend subscribing to these page to list a few. Neal Hallinan Conor Harris Dr bri pelvic health Fit alpha Restore muscle therapy & Canberra soft tissue. I honestly don't recommend joining the fb groups bc everyone seems to believe they're dying of some undiscovered bacteria or fungi buried deep in the prostate, further adding to their stress and anxiety making symptoms that much worse. I can't stress enough to go easy on these exercises bc less does equal more. Never push beyond a 3 or 4 as hard as that is.
The groin knots/tightsnessI I have is pulling on the knee. I do all 3 of these stretches except for the exercise with the band. They Work!! I also do cupping on the back of my thighs and glutes.. I use a baseball to roll around on my hamstrings. There is immense tightness on my right side, I hold that ball there till I cant take it anymore. These stretches Work! Ive been doing them for a month now. 68 years of sitting and "crossing" my legs caused it. I noticed my lower back was hurting, at 3 am in the .morning I got out my cupping kit and placed a few on my lower back for 10 minutes then I stretched, woke up this morning with NO lower back issues. I believe Im swaying my back too much when I do the frog stretch; I will make a point to keep the back straight. In the frog stretch, what happens when I lift my feet in that stretch??? Thanks!!
Explained very well with detailed demonstration. Inspired to resolve my issues. Couldn’t catch how long and how many times a day these four exercises are recommended to be done. Thank you
This describes the pain that I've been experiencing on the right butt side. Thought that it was groin (or gluteus), hamstring or hip. I have degenerative meniscus in the right knee so I think it started with somehow modifying my walking gait.
Found out if you have a dip bar or some thing waste height you can slide a foam roller over the arm and use that to get into those muscles a lot easier
What a great smooth voice you have, it feels almost ASMR. I have extreme DOMS in the adductor magnus every week for 3 to 4 days. It has been like this for since I started working out 8 years ago and I systematically have them every week. I don't know what to do, but I do work in an office job but it must have something to do with it. I realize DOMS are mostly produced during eccentric loads and I feel a lot of stretching in the AMagnus whenever I squat deep or do leg presses. Would getting better mobility avoid loading eccentrically the muscle and thus getting les DOMS?
How can you approach this rehabilitation for more severe cases, I tried doing these but was only able to do 1 of the exercises you showed… but still trying them
Oh my I wonder if this could be a part of my prob. First of all been to the Dr. and PT for what I thought was lower back pain and sacrum pain. But it started in my back legs and glutes After I took a walk on the beach sat on a hard rock for an hour. There were also long stairs to go down to the beach and back up AND it was cold and the drive home over was an hour. I should have been home resting. Next day I wake up to pain in back legs and glutes. I kept doing all the physical work I do and over the course of 4 months it got worse, my lower back started hurting then my sacrum, then the tail bone and then my left leg started having sciatica systems. I was having extreme pain sitting, getting up from sitting position, walking, coming up after bending over, walking, sleeping, when I looked up or turned my head there was pain in my sacrum. Also pain began to be really bad upon rising in the morning and I can no longer jump up and down without pain in sacrum. It was getting debilitating. I started taking excedrin an went to the Dr. Dr. said excedrin was fine, had me take a blood test and sent me to pt Also my bp was high and blood sugar was showing close to pre diabetic. But I'd been stressed for 4 months. I keep telling Dr. When the pain in my back subsides I still feel some pain in back legs, glutes and tailbone. BUT I noticed that knocked kneed position you did, that's what I noticed first month pain started. I thought that was odd. I'm not over weight, I am older BUT I've worked very hard physically for over 30yrs. So hard that I never go to a gym because I couldn't get time to go. I was extremely strong and limber and possessed loads of energy and looked really strong....until this. Pt didn't work, infact made it worse. I don't like taking medicine so I was not regularly taking Excedrin. So I saw a youtube video where some one used a tennis ball to massage the same areas that are hurting on me and guess what, it worked BUT I'm massaging off and on all day, every time I feel the cramps starting to come back in my back legs and glutes. If I don't massage the pain spreads to hips, lower back, sacrum and inside of thighs. Went to see Dr.and told Dr. about the massaging, I was given a prescription for Flexeril. I haven't tried it yet, kinda scared I guess after reading side effects and I'm 61. Could I have over stressed my body from hard work for years? It only takes 1 excedrin to make pain go away so how serious can this be? It literally happened over night, is that common? Is it better to just rest and massage, cause anything I do makes pain come back. Also I'm getting an ulta sound in a couple of days Dr. wants to. Look at my back legs. It took 4months to get to this state, I wonder will it take 4 months to correct?
Listen to your body, think of all the things that are going on. Its all connected, if one area is out of whack it affects another area. My doc gave me a referral for PT. I chose NOT to go!! I knew it would make it worse. It was my knee that was in pain and swollen, so I massaged the groin area and took Curcumin for the inflammation. After 2 weeks I started stretching, Cupping and I have an Infrared lamp to speed up healing by circulation the lamp does. I do all 3 stretches except the one with the band, before I saw this video. Ive been walking without crutches for 2 weeks now. I still do the stretches, the groin is an awkward muscle group to.stretch. But, I continue till I am pain free. My glutes are tight, my right hamstring is tight and the groin us tight. It sucks, but gotta get better. Sitting a lot more since I retired, the Pandemic being on lock down in CA for a year didn't help and crossing my legs for 68 years will definitely cause groin strain, glutes get tight from sitting too. Take care listen to your body. .
my pain is in my tail bone not where ur thumb nail is showin i guess mine is a different issue eventho i have problems sitting for more then 5 mins in a chair. why is that
Can you tell me some good basketball shoes that are also bearfoot or something like that I just came from your asics snapdown 2 and 3 video and was wondering if they would be good for that
Those are a good choice, especially with the grip pattern on the Snapdown, make sure to buy the "Wide" sizes. That's what I use when playing basketball
@@GrownandHealthy i dont think i can get it wide but I'm a number 45 so I will get 46 so get more space BTW you sed in your video you don't know about the quality of the snapdown 3 how has it held up?
@@dt-lg2oc I have had no issues with them, wore them up to yesterday. I don't wear socks, so a size up is a good choice, even though they expand after you break them in.
I’ve had pain for 6 months not squatting or any lifting. I can’t lift my leg up on my side without pain going right to my inner thigh and I’ve tried everything to get better. It only hurts when I stabilize or push out with my left leg. And ideas to help?
Thanks a lot for this video, can the adductor magnus cause glutes medius pain? I noticed that after palpating the muscle my glute pain dissapeared. Also, having groin pain for 2 years with this muscle, what else do you recommend?
i already have groin pull, i sat yesterday for continued 9 hours studying... i barely walk today… what makes it ironic that i’m a physical therapy student…

Do all 4 2-3x per week.. the rep range will depend on your tolerance.. but a top rep range of 15-20 each side should work for 3-4 sets.
Great video, thanks!
Very helpful thanks
thank you so much!
Can you post a diagnosis test for this
This describes the pain that I've been experiencing on the right butt side. Thought that it was groin (or gluteus), hamstring or hip. I have degenerative meniscus in the right knee so I think it started with somehow modifying my walking gait.
I get neuropathy in my feet as well as pain in this muscle when sitting. Any suggestions on what I should do?
Thought it was my hamstrings or bursitis. But this sounds more accurate considering I have groin pain as well.
Thx bruh.
Which leg is getting stretched for adductors the bent or straight?

I'd like to know the name of the "buzzing feeling", so that I can talk to my Dr. about it.
great stuff. the copenhagan plank is also great, but pretty tough.
Is this related to ligament laxity around the coccyx and/or Pudental neuralgia
I have a very painfull sudden electric shock in my inner thigh ,,, plz do you know whats this ???

Does that still help?

I recommend the "Thrival Release Board" using the "bullseye" attachment. This thing does not miss.
I think I pulled this muscle last night while getting a good yawn and stretch while sleeping. It hurts under my butt on the left side 😫
