What is hip adduction?

Hip adduction is the movement of the thigh toward the midline of the body, primarily facilitated by the adductor muscles located in the inner thigh. This motion is essential for various activities, such as walking, running, and maintaining balance. It plays a crucial role in stabilizing the pelvis and supporting movements in sports and physical activities. Strengthening the adductor muscles can help improve overall hip function and reduce the risk of injury.
