FortuitousAdductors - The missing stretch.
The video below offer a variation of the addcutor stretches that can be overlooked but crucial to improve your groin flexibility. Gracilis.

If you've done lots of "butterfly" stretches or "pancake" stretches or "frog" stretches yet still feel limited in your flexibility then you must add inn the stretch the video suggests. It will help target the the difficult Gracilis muscle (the long slender muscle that crosses the knee).
The issue with the other stretches mentioned above, regardless if you do them as static streches or PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) stretching, is that they aren't good at targeting the gracilis. Bent legs limits how much you can stretch this muscle, and with pancake stretch the focus goes to the other adductors or hamstring (depending on the spread of your legs, the narrower the more hamstring focused and the wider the more adductor focused). So if you struggle with improving the inner thigh flexibility and mobility, then try out the video suggested stretch and feel the difference.
