adductor

People that invented it are long dead, so we have nobody to insult when we can't tell abductor from adductor.

At which point I use the abductor pollicis brevis, adductor pollicis, etc.

Thus there are abductor muscles and adductor muscles.

Look into adductor/abductor stretches along with hamstring stretches.

My trainer knows I have a chronic shoulder issue, and an adductor issue at the moment I'm working through that we need to avoid stressing too much.

There are inevitable road crossings, but at a certain basic level of competency that doesn't pose a problem (except if you slip and slightly tear an adductor, for those of us over-forties).

If you have someone tuck their stomach (transverse abs/rectus abdominus) and squeeze their inner thighs (adductor magnus) while sitting back, it should force them to engage their glutes and fold in a natural way.

In comparison, my injury doesn't sound as severe as yours, which was over a decade ago and it took over a year of trying almost all manner of physio, acupuncture, massages, sleeping on hard floor and other therapies, before serendipitously stumbling upon the lateral abductor/adductor rotator cuff exercises, as illustrated in the linked YouTube video.

(I'm thinking particularly of adductor strength and thoracic spine mobility.) On the other hand the low-bar squat is often coached incorrectly, resulting in much worse stress on the back and elbows (terrible cues like "knees back", etc).

(For example the abductor muscles of the thigh raise the thigh laterally, away from the other thigh, while the adductor muscles of the thigh bring the two thighs together.) "Induction" also implies the same direction of movement as "adduction", i.e.
