How to do the assisted side lying adductor stretch
- Lie on your side with your legs straight and stacked on top of each other.
- Bend your bottom leg slightly for stability.
- Place your top foot on a stable surface, such as a bench or step.
- Keeping your top leg straight, slowly lower it towards the ground, feeling a stretch in your inner thigh.
- Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds.
- Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
Sets and reps
