Question 6

i run about 5 days a week and i think my adductor muscles are injured. is there another cardio workout i can do that doesn't use these muscles?

Accepted Answer

Legs In A Pinch?: Well, firstly, just how do you run?Do you do a lot of lateral moves or sprints or hurdles?What I mean is that over-use of adductor muscles is rather unusual during a routine jog.You might try an indoor or outdoor bike. Another way to do cardio is super sets with light to medium weights.Even just with upper body work you'll get a good pump.Swimming might work,just pay attention to your adductors.

Question 7

If the adductor: Weakness is causing problems, say gait issues, then yes. You should make sure there is nothing else going on as well and should have a physical examination.Otherwise a regular workout routine should be okay to strengthen adductors. Do you know why they are weak? That's an important question to ask.

Question 8

how do i massage tight adductor muscles and hamstrings?  my adductor muscles and hamstrings are very tight from a track meet.

Accepted Answer

Foam roller: I've found the best thing is to roll your tight parts over a foam roller. You can get these at most running stores.

Question 9

what does the adductor muscles in my upper leg have to do with my knee?

Accepted Answer

Support the knee.: The adductors help protect the knee from injury, when a stress is applied to the outside of the knee, which results in increased stress to the inner side of the knee. Part of the adductor group crosses that knee joint, thus , giving it support and protection from a potential injury.

Accepted Answer

: Your body is talking to you.  Listen and take good notes. What makes it hurt or get better. And discuss with a Dr who can examine you.
