Benefits
- Lower Back: The groin stretch is an effective exercise for relieving tension in the lower back. It can help to improve flexibility in the muscles and ligaments around the spine, increasing range of motion in the spine and reducing strain on the lower back muscles and joints. Additionally, the stretch can help to reduce pressure on the discs in the spine, helping to alleviate pain and discomfort.
- Hips: One of the primary benefits of the groin stretch is to help increase flexibility in the hips. It can help to loosen up the muscles and ligaments around the hip joint, allowing for increased range of motion and decreased tension. This can help to reduce pain and discomfort in the hips and improve overall mobility.
- Thighs: The groin stretch can help to improve flexibility in the muscles of the thighs. This can help to reduce tension in the quads and hamstrings, allowing for increased range of motion in the knees and improving overall lower body strength. Additionally, this stretch can help to reduce the risk of injury in the thighs.
