Kneeling Groin Stretch

An adductor and groin release performed in a wide kneeling position. Tight adductors contribute to pelvic compression, hip rotation faults, and knee tracking problems — this passive hold addresses all three.

Duration

2 min

Hold

90s

Sets

How to do it

1
Kneel on a mat with both knees wide apart, toes pointing outward.
2
Slowly sink your hips down toward the floor between your knees.
3
Place your hands on the floor or on your thighs for support.
4
Let gravity create the stretch, do not force your hips down.
5
Hold 1 to 2 minutes, breathing slowly. Let the inner thighs release progressively.

Easier option

If kneeling is hard on your knees, pad them well, or do this seated in a chair with knees wide and gently leaning forward to open the inner thighs.

Benefits

Releases tight adductors and groin muscles
Improves hip abduction and external rotation range of motion
Reduces pelvic compression that contributes to lower back and knee pain

Common mistakes

Forcing the hips down aggressively, this should be a relaxed gravity-assisted stretch
Allowing the feet to be flat on the floor instead of letting the tops of the feet rest on the mat
Rounding the upper back and collapsing the chest
