Inner thigh/Groin Release
Position:
Lie on your back with your knees bent, feet on the floor, and arms lying by your sides. Slide your right foot over to meet your left foot. Your right foot is now in line with the center of your body.
Movement:
Very slowly and very carefully lower your right knee out to the side. Let your pelvis rock to the right so your left hip comes off the floor. You will roll onto the outside edge of your right foot.
When you’ve gone about 75%as far as you think you can, slowly bring your knee back in an inch, feeling the gentle contraction of the muscles along the inner seam of your pants. Then start lowering down again, very gently releasing that contraction. Let your knee move a little closer to the ground on each repetition.
Repeat this pattern 4-6times, feeling your muscles contract in a shortening fashion as your knee comes in and then contract in a lengthening fashion as your knee goes out. Look for the smoothness of movement.
Once your knee is released as far out to the side as is comfortable for you and avoiding a strong stretch, finish by sliding your foot down on the floor and straightening your right leg. Relax completely. Carefully return your foot to the floor using your R hamstring on the back of your thigh then repeat this movement on the other side.
Notes:
Can you feel the inner thigh clearly working?
Are the sides equally smooth?
You can repeat this on the less coordinated side.
Inner Thigh Release Application
Take a minute when you are out walking and let your arms dangle by your sides with elbows straight. Allow your hips to slightly move from side to side. Feel your body gently bump into your arms as you place weight on your leg. If your inner thighs are tight, you won’t be able to sense your body weight shift from side to side. This is an extremely subtle relaxation of your hips as you move from standing on one leg to standing on the other. Tight inner thighs promote tight hips and outer thighs so this can be a powerful tool for knee, hip or low back pain.
