Like the previous adductor stretch, start lying down with your back to the floor. However, keep your legs fully straightened out rather than bent. Place a small medicine ball between the ankles before squeezing the ankles together like in the previous stretch. Once again, start in intervals of about five seconds with ten repetitions each and slowly increase both as your strength improves. A static strengthening exercise like this one is a great stretch to begin the pulled groin recovery process with, since it helps ease patients into recovery and does not immediately dive into things way too quickly and pull any muscles.
