Adductor Muscles:
-
Ischial ramus and ischial tuberosity. So, right up in this region. And then the insertion is linea aspera, medial condyle ridge, and the adductor tubercle, the medial femoral condyle. So the major actions is adduction of the thigh, anterior fibers flex and medially and rotate, and posterior fibers extend and laterally rotate. So, adductor maintenance: more right in this region here.

Step 2:
-
Hold it down.
-
So, what you're going to basically do to this one is, to actually find it, hold down the foot, have them lift up their foot. OK. Have them kind of tense it up. So, again, the biceps femoris is over here. Semi-tendonosis, membranosis is basically directly right in the center.

Step 3:
-
Trigger Points.
-
So there's two trigger points directly right in the center. So when you feel that little divot there, that's how you locate that. And that can actually refer to this area, and also the anterior part of the thigh. And the one that's the ischial tuberosity, and you remember the gluteus maximus is just above the ischial tuberosity.
But just below that, that's adductor magnus trigger points, too. So there's two of them down here, and two of them are in the center. And the upper one will actually go to more the sacrum region or the bladder region on the anterior portion. That's where it will technically refer them.
So, again, make sure you go right in between. It's basically directly in the center. But it is accessible on the anterior portion, but it's a lot easier on the posterior portion, to get the trigger points that way.
