What is the Adductor Brevis?
The adductor brevis is a small muscle on the inner thigh that helps control how your leg moves and how stable your hips feel. It sits deep in the upper inner thigh, underneath the larger adductor longus, and it runs from the pelvis down to the upper part of the femur. Its main job is to pull the thigh inward toward the midline of your body, which is called hip adduction. It also assists with hip flexion, bringing the thigh slightly forward, and it can contribute a bit to hip rotation depending on your hip position.
