Inflammation of the adductor of the thigh – Step 1

Rehabilitation starts with the exercises in Step 1. When the exercises can be performed without pain, rehabilitation starts on the next step.

How often and for how long should I train? Training frequency and duration are individual. Start with about 3 repetitions per workout. exercise and at least 3 times a week. Slowly increase the number of repetitions and load without exceeding the pain threshold

Do I have to do the whole program every time? No, you can divide the exercises into different days. The most important thing is to exercise regularly and gradually increase the intensity

Condition

Unlimited: Cycling. Swimming (Crawl)

Stretching

15 minutes of each training session

Stand by crossing the training leg straight behind the support leg while bending out to the side over the training leg so that there is an increasing stretching of the outer thigh. Hold stretching for 20 seconds. Repeat exercise alternately on right and left leg

Stand with your training leg straight on a step/stool while bending your front body slightly forwards. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds.

Stand on one leg. Support yourself with one hand against a wall or chair. Bend the opposite knee and grasp your foot with the hand on the same side. Pull your foot upwards and your knee slightly backwards, so that you feel a gradual stretch in your thigh. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise, alternating between your right and left legs.

Lie on your back with one leg straight. Bend the other leg and place your foot on the other side of the stretched leg. With both hands, pull your knee up towards the opposite shoulder so that your buttocks are increasingly stretched. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the opposite leg.

Sit on your left knee and right foot. Bend your right leg at a 90-degree angle at the hip and knee. Extend your left knee as far back as possible, with your foot raised and resting on a small box. Push your hips forwards and downwards without arching your lower back, so that you feel a gradual stretch at the front of your hip. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the other leg.

Sit with your knees bent and the soles of your feet touching. Place your hands on both knees and slowly push your knees apart, so that you feel a gradual stretch in your groin. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Relax for 20 seconds.

Stand with your legs apart. Keep one leg straight and the other slightly bent. Shift your weight to the side onto your bent leg, so that you feel a gradual stretch on the inside of the opposite thigh. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise on the other leg.

Coodination

5 minutes of each training session

Stand on one leg on the floor. Look forwards and keep your knee slightly bent. Initially, support your hand against the wall. Later, make the exercise more difficult by closing your eyes.

Balance on two feet on the balance board. To begin with, use your hand to support yourself against the wall. Later, balance on one foot without support. Try holding it later balance with your eyes closed.

Strength

40 minutes of each training session

Lie on your back with a ball between your feet. Squeeze for 20 seconds. Relax for 10 seconds.

Lie on your back with your knees bent. Hold a ball between your knees and squeeze for 20 seconds. Relax for 10 seconds.

Lie on your back with your knees bent and the ball between your knees. Squeeze the ball with your knees. Lift your head and shoulders 15 cm off the floor and hold the position for a few seconds before slowly lowering your head and shoulders again.

Stand on a slippery surface with a tea towel under your foot. Point the toes of your working leg straight ahead. Slide your working leg out to the side and back again. Repeat the exercise with your toes pointing out to the side.

Attach an exercise band at ankle height behind you. Sit on a chair with your back against the resistance band. Wrap the resistance band around your shin just above the ankle. Slowly stretch your knee to tighten the elastic band. Hold the tension for a few seconds and slowly bend the knee again

Attach an exercise band 10 cm above floor level. Stand facing the exercise band. Place the resistance band around your training leg between the knee and the ankle (the lower you place it, the greater the resistance). Slowly bring your leg back so that the band tightens. Hold the tension for a few seconds, then slowly bring your leg forward to the starting position.

Lie on your side with your forearm and knee on the floor, knees bent, and the working leg on top. Lift your hips so that your body is straight. Hold the position for at least 5 seconds. Slowly lower your hips back to the starting position.
