19 Groin-Saving Stretches That Will Help You Bounce Back from Injury

4. Foam Rolling On Upper Thigh

Another ideal stretch is foam rolling on your upper thigh. With static, traditional stretching, your goal is to relax your muscles. However, when you use a foam roller, you help relax the connecting tissue wrapping around your muscles. To use the foam roller on your inner thigh, lie on your stomach with the foam roller beside you. Bend one of your legs until it's at a ninety-degree angle, placing your inner thigh onto the roller. While keeping your forearms resting on the floor, roll sideways and move the roller closer to your hips. When you get to a tender spot, pause. You can also help your outer thighs by lying sideways on the roller with the roller just below your hip. Lift your bottom leg from the floor and cross it over the leg with the roller. Roll until the roller meets your knee. If you need more pressure, you can stack your legs.
