The Assisted Side Lying Adductor Stretch is a stretch that targets the inner thigh muscles. This stretch can help improve flexibility in the inner thigh area and can be beneficial for individuals who have tightness in this area.
How to perform
Here are step by step instructions on how to perform the Assisted Side Lying Adductor Stretch:1. Start by lying on your side on a comfortable surface. You can use a yoga mat or towel to cushion your body.
2. Extend your bottom leg straight out and bend your top knee, bringing your foot towards your buttocks.
3. Have a partner or use a wall or stable object to assist you in this stretch. Your partner should gently press down on your top knee, helping to bring it closer to the ground.
4. Hold this position for 15-30 seconds, feeling a stretch along the inner thigh of your top leg.
5. Remember to breathe deeply and relax into the stretch, avoiding any sharp pain.
6. Slowly release the stretch and switch sides to stretch the other leg.
7. Repeat the stretch on each side a few times, gradually increasing the intensity of the stretch as your flexibility improves.
It is important to listen to your body and not force the stretch beyond what is comfortable for you. If you experience any pain or discomfort, stop the stretch immediately. Always consult with a fitness professional or healthcare provider before starting any new exercise routine.
