The abductors: is the name for a muscle group responsible for all muscle movements away from the body. The largest abductors are in the outer thigh and buttock area and consist of the middle gluteus muscle (gluteus medius), the small gluteus muscle (gluteus minimus) and the piriform muscle (piriformis). The piriformis is a pear-shaped skeletal muscle that primarily regulates the hip joints’ external rotation. Abductors are also referred to as thigh abductors or hip abductors. A FEW BENEFITS TO ABDUCTOR TRAINING: 1: May reduce knee pain 2: Prevent groin issues 3: Potential to combat lower back issues I’ll speak more detail in my next abduction post!
