Let's get to know each other! Comment below sharing where you are in the world, which joint gives you the most trouble, and what you've already tried. No judgment, we've all been there. ☺️

Adductors are among the most neglected muscles, especially in recreational athletes. These are the inner thigh muscles, and they're critical for both athletes and non-athletes alike. Why do they matter? ◆ Pelvic stability, especially during single-leg movements ◆ Force transfer between upper and lower body, enabling explosive athletic movements and easing everyday activities ◆ Essential for change of direction, jumping and sprinting ◆ Control pelvic rotation during rotational movements — hugely important in sport Strengthening these muscles significantly reduces groin injury risk and improves stability in both the pelvis and the knee. Training the adductors reduces the likelihood of muscular imbalances, which are surprisingly common — especially in recreational athletes. Few people pay attention to these muscles, partly because they don't contribute to aesthetics the way the glutes do. But their hidden functional role is far more important for daily life than how they look. Next time you walk into the gym, sit down on the machine with ADDUCTOR written on it (you don't have to jump straight into Coppenhagen plank, unless you're strong enough already 😉). Trust me, your body will thank you.

They rest until it stops hurting, then go back to normal activity, then get hurt again. The research is clear: complete rest makes tendons and cartilage weaker over time, not stronger. The tissue needs load to adapt and recover. The goal isn't to avoid pain entirely. It's to find the right amount of load that challenges the tissue without overwhelming it. That's what progressive loading is, and it's the foundation of every good rehab programme. Full breakdown in the classroom under Exercise Protocols.
