The pectineus and its brethren (add. brevis and longus) are common culprits of anterior thigh pain, quad weakness, anterior testicular and labial pain in patients with tight groins, as it causes a problem I have named pectineo-femoral pinch syndrome, which is positional compression of the nerves that emerge under the inguinal ligament.
Groin tightness is common in patients with high stress (due to groin clenching), or patients with hip impingement (due to weak hip stabilization). mskneurology.com/pectineo-fem...
Patients with pectineus injury, eg., hyperabduction or sports injuries should not be stretching. They should be strengthening. Discernment between the two is generally rendered based on clinical history, exact symptoms, and triggers. Do not stretch an injured muscle.
