What is the Adductor Longus?
The adductor longus is a muscle on the inner part of your thigh. You have one on each leg. It starts near the front of your pelvis, close to where your upper inner thigh meets your groin, and it runs down to attach along the middle portion of your thigh bone. Its main job is to pull your leg inward toward the midline of your body, which is the movement called hip adduction. If you stand with your feet apart and then bring your legs together, the adductor longus is one of the key muscles doing that work.
