Adductor Strengthening - CopeNhagens

With preseason and community sport fast approaching we see the reintroduction of change of direction and reactionary running.

This is far different from going for a run during the week or even doing a planned running session over the lockdown period.

It is important that this load is managed but also that we have adequate strength to help tolerate this.

Adductor strength is often overlooked but the prevalence of adductor injuries is common in kicking and change of direction sports.

Here is a few progressions of the Copenhagen exercise. The top leg is the working leg with the bottom leg able to add resistance or assistance. 

In the videos we can see:

1. Short Lever Assisted Copenhagen

2. Short Lever Copenhagen

3. Assisted long lever Copenhagen

4. Long Lever Copenhagen

5. Long Lever Copenhagen + Lower Leg Reps

If you have any adductor injuries or anything questions feel free to message us or book an appointment for assessment and a individualised rehab program.
