Groin Mobility Basics | Trevor Bachmeyer | SmashweRx

How about we eliminate two things:
1. SI JOINT PAIN
2. TIGHT GROIN

🔥ULTIMATE GROIN HACK🔥
.
In order to change the viscoelastic qualities of tissue permanently, you have to do more than just ‘stretch.’ When it comes to a tight groin, the mechanical ‘influence’ that it has on the orientation of the pelvis relative to the spine is enormous. Two things end up happening:
1. You drag the femur anterior in the acetabulum and end up loading the joint capsule and labrum.
2. The SI joints become compromised because of the torsional shear, and you feed slack into the system by increasing the laxity of the lumbar spine.
Yep, all of that is bad. 👎
.
The six adductors (we could count the obturator externus which would make seven for all the anatomy people out there, but that’s stretching it 😉), they all need movement under load to create a long term change in the tissue quality.
.
What happens is that the entire adductor complex loads the femur and pelvis against the rest of the system. This creates some serious instability at the SI joints and ends up dumping the head of the femur anterior forcing the knee to collapse and reinforce that corrupt position. The adductors get recruited during hip extension and flexion forcing them to work in a suboptimal position because they are short, tight and pissed off. The result, groin pain, SI pain and an injury risk that skyrockets.
Here’s how to make a permanent change:
1️⃣ Adductor slide outs
2️⃣ Adductor sweeps
3️⃣ Adductor Quadruped
4️⃣ Cossack Squats
5️⃣ Goblet Squat Hold
BOOM! Go and do! Smash you later!
