Description

The hip abductors are a vital group of muscles located on the lateral (outer) side of the hip. Their primary job is to move your leg away from the midline of your body and to help stabilize your pelvis when you are walking or standing on one leg.Pelvic Stability: They prevent the “Trendelenburg gait” (where the hip drops when you take a step).
Knee Health: Weak abductors often lead to “knee valgus” (knees caving inward), which is a major cause of ACL injuries and runner’s knee.
Balance: They are critical for lateral movements in sports like tennis, soccer, or basketball.
