The adductors originate on the pubis and ischium bones and insert mainly on the medial posterior surface of the femur.

What is the adductor muscle connected to?

Originating at the pubis and the ischium (lower portions of the pelvis—the hipbone), these ribbonlike muscles are attached along the femur (thighbone). Their primary action is adduction of the thigh, as in squeezing the thighs together; they also aid in rotation and flexion of the thigh.

What problems do tight adductors cause?

Tight adductors can cause knee pain, especially seen in runners. The function of the adductor muscles is to pull the thighs together and rotate the upper leg inwards, as well as stabilising the hip.
