Adductor Stretch
Sciatic nerve pain is a common problem that can cause considerable discomfort. In some cases, chronic sciatic nerve pain may reduce one’s quality of life. Fortunately, several stretches can help ease sciatic nerve pain. While these stretches won’t cure the underlying condition, they can relieve the pain and other symptoms.
The adductor muscles are located on the inside of the thigh. These muscles help to stabilize the hip and knee joints. The adductor stretch is a move that can help improve your range of motion and flexibility. For many people, the adductor muscles can become tight from sitting for long periods or activities involving repetitive motions. For example, individuals who play sports like tennis or soccer may notice that their inner thighs feel tight. Doing the adductor stretch can help alleviate this discomfort.
Start by standing with your feet about shoulder-width apart. If you need more stability, place your hands on your hips. Keeping your back straight, take a large step to your side with your right foot. Try keeping your left leg as straight as possible. You should feel a stretch in your right groin area. Try moving your right foot further away from your left foot if you don’t feel a stretch.
