M. Pectineus
Reflex muscle
The pectineus muscle is a muscle in the thigh that forms part of the adductor complex. It is situated on the medial (inner) aspect of the front of the thigh and has a tendon-like structure. The pectineus muscle is responsible for the adduction (bringing the thigh closer to the pelvis) and flexion (bending) of the hip joint. It also helps to stabilise the hip joint.
The adductors are groups of muscles on the inner side of the thigh. They play an important role in movements such as pushing through and adduction of the leg. Overuse or misalignment of the adductors can lead to the formation of trigger points, which in turn can contribute to various types of pain and symptoms. These include pain in the thigh, hip, groin and pubic bone, as well as pain in the genital area, restricted movement and severe pain during movement. It is important that these symptoms are recognised and treated at an early stage to prevent a progressive deterioration in function and an increase in pain symptoms.
In the past, muscle tone regulation of the reflex muscles was achieved using microcurrent 🔋 and rod electrodes 🥢 (unfortunately, these are no longer approved for use on electrical safety grounds). However, the same result can also be achieved very quickly with LED light therapy 🔴🟢🔵.
