A member asked:
What is a good, similar stretching exercise if you cannot do splits?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seated Groin Stretch: The safest stretch for your groin is the seated groin stretch. This allows you to gradually gain flexibility before attempting an extreme stretching motion such as the splits. If you attempt to do the splits and are not flexible enough you can injure the groin musculature.
