How to stretch for soreness and aching in the inner thigh

Generally, inner thigh soreness can be relieved through stretching exercises such as lateral squat steps, side-lying knee lifts, and high knees. These methods help alleviate symptoms. Specific details are as follows:

1. Lateral Squat Step

Regulate your breathing and perform a wide-step squat with both legs. Slightly lean the upper body forward, extend both arms downward between the legs, and place the palms on the ground to maintain body stability. Alternate legs while performing the stretching motion.

2. Side-Lying Knee Lift

Lie on your side and position the right thigh perpendicular to the body, with toes slightly pointing downward. Engage the outer hip muscles to lift the thigh, drawing it toward the groin area. Alternate between legs to stretch the inner thigh muscles.

3. High Knees

Stand upright with feet shoulder-width apart. Lift the right knee up to waist height while swinging the left arm forward and the right arm backward. Return the right foot to the ground, then lift the left knee to waist height, repeating the arm movements. Alternate legs continuously to stretch the inner thigh muscles.

In addition, other exercises such as knee lifts with thigh rotation can also help stretch and relax tense muscle groups, promote local blood circulation, maintain flexibility, and improve soreness in the inner thigh.
