To your point. Here are alleged text messages asking for certain areas to be massaged and the therapist's response. I'll let
@CloakNNNdagger or other professionals provide details on what is the rectus abdominus and abductor longus muscles, where are they located, how do you treat soreness and possible reasons he would want/need therapy.
I'll try to answer your question in understandable terms.
The request for these 2 areas are not unusual in athletes. However, therapeutically, the TRIGGER POINTS of these muscles are where the massages are specifically directed. For the adductor [NOT ABDUCTOR LONGUS.......no such muscle] longus, the trigger point is well away from the actual groin (and the area of the penis).
Adductor Longus and Brevis Trigger Point Diagram
There is one essential/primary trigger point in each muscle, but they both refer the same pain pattern into the groin, down the anterior thigh and into knee as one unit.
******************************
As relates to the abdominis [NOT ABDOMINUS] rectus muscle (the six pack) , the trigger point associated with its
local pain (which is why most athletes, especially a QB, request the massage) is just below the umbilicus (belly button)............again not in the area of the penis. [There are 2 other trigger points located higher and lower, but these not for pain in the abdominal areas...........
see video]
******************************
The problem is that in the filings, the masseuses stated that when supposedly massaging the groin pain, Watson kept requesting that the massage be directed higher near the scrotum/base of the penis (away from the appropriate therapeutic adductor longus trigger point). When supposedly massaging the abdominis rectus pain, he kept requesting the massage be directed lower near the base of the penis (away from the appropriate therapeutic rectus abdominis trigger point).
