ABOUT THIS VIDEO

In this video, Matt shows you how to stretch your inner thigh muscles. The hip adductor muscles can generate a lot of sensations of tightness when you sit all day and also from doing lots of lower body exercises.

What... Ive been stretching for so many years and didn't find this stretch until now. Spent so much money on physio, and this hits the spot!!

[ambertransou]

This was EXACTLY what I needed. Both my chiropractor and my massage therapist have been telling me how tight my adductors are, but because of my limited flexibility, those first stretches you showed are not available to me. THIS is going to be so useful, thank you!!

"To do this stretch all you need is a little bit of open space, which you should be able to find as long as you don't live some crazy sci-fi dystopia like Hong Kong or Japan." 😂😂😂

[dadsbarmy]

[bryrst]

Whenever something hurts I always seem to end up on your channel and you always seem to have the answer. Thanks!

[shamirjohnson]

Wow! This!!!! I’ve been doing so many stretches to hit the spot that you just explained in this video. It’s hitting right where I need it to be stretched! Thanks for going deeper than butterfly stretch!!

I have had hip and lower back pain for many years now. In the last month I started stretching, after doing an x-ray to rule out other issues, and it has helped greatly. What I came to find out is that getting stronger in range of motion is very important. It tells my body that it won't get hurt in that position. When I started increasing strength in the stretch I found out just how incredibly weak some of the muscles were as the other muscles were over compensating for them.

This is my first time here ever. As an over 60 yr old horribly out of shape/overweight, I am incredibly inspired. Your calming, and kind demeanor makes me want to start moving. Thank you!!

Out of many videos and personalities I have watched regarding various bodywork styles I must say your presentation is not only informative but most relaxing .(.which I find helps with learning. ) So much of Youtube is filled with shouting beefcakes which not everybody can relate to. Also you have a voice that is pleasurable to the ear which makes all the difference. Thank you ..I have subscribed.

Expressing all the adjustments and muscle focuses, like glutes, chopping into the floor, focusing on the thigh - was really helpful !

Matt you're the best. I've never stretched my adductors in hip extension and immediately I am getting at that damn thing that's been bothering me for years and causing trouble in the right knee.

[susanrisko]

This is the most the most amazing stretch and an awesome video. This position provides a stretch that nothing else can! It’s amazing to learn how weak my body feels here, which confirms how necessary it is!!! Thank you!!!! Also, the idea of shifting feet or hip or torso provides slightly alternate stretches and encourages strength training. LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!! THANK

How can someone give thumbs down 👎 to this man and demonstrating
He is great 👍 and explains so well. Thanks man

[factsonlyfacts]

This stretch instantly made a difference, thank you!

[domluthens]

Such a great explanation and so simple. I love your videos. I am 6’6” and never had a stretch that helps me move into side lunges more. This is what physical therapy is all about!

[brianalee]

Wow, I did this stretch and felt the difference immediately! I used to be such an active person but after becoming pregnant I developed a really sedentary lifestyle and as a result, lost so much muscle and range of motion. I literally felt the tension release in my adductors, no other stretch has helped me so far. I'm so grateful to have come across this video!

[JJ-clnu]

thank you so much. so easy to stretch and helpful

[gracewinseverytime]

Thank you for sharing this video. I've never stretched my abductors. I was having trouble with my glutes and hamstrings. This was better than my physical therapy.

This is the best stretch I've found by far! Being able to adjust positioning in so many ways allows me to really target areas of the muscles that the other traditional stretches would never really get. I've been cycling for the past 3 years, but recently I've been trying to improve my training to the point that I can start competing at an amateur level. But, after destroying my knees and ankles playing high school sports, 25 years ago, it's not easy. Recently, I've developed pain and tightness on the inside of my right knee, right about where the adductor attaches just above the knee. The pain is easily relieved through massage, but I've been looking for a stretch that can help me avoid the pain in the first place. I've only done it for a short time, but so far, so good. Thank you!
