Your hip adductor muscles are the muscles that are located in the medial compartment of your thigh.

The function of the adductor muscles is to adduct the thigh at the hip joint and also allow the external/lateral rotation and flexion of the thigh.

The meaning of the word adduct is to draw something toward or past the median axis of the body.

So your adductor muscles help to draw the thigh at the hip joint and allow the external and lateral rotation and flexion of the thigh.

Your adductor muscles are muscles that primarily function to adduct the femur at the hip joint.

The human adductor muscles are all located somewhere along the medial side of the thigh and they also all originate in different places at the front of the pelvis.

Your adductor muscles are very important as you would not be able to move those muscles and joints without the adductor muscles.
