Snapping/Clicking/Clunking Hips? It could be SNAPPING HIP Syndrome

[@Susu-pz5pw]

OMG I JUST TRIED THE 90/90 STRETCH AND THE POPPING HAS ALREADY MINIMIZED!!! The pop is now quieter, less painful, and shorter of a pop! Definitely try these exercises if you’re struggling with this!!!

​@@onpoint6868yeah, its probably not true just after one exercise. But im curious, did it help you, if you did it? Do you even had problem with your hip to begin with?

Finally, an answer to my problem! I appreciate how you showed a proper anatomy model, the stretching, strengthening and especially how you shared how long it may take to correct the problem. Without an expected, approximate timeline, I might think a week or two, but now my expectation is appropriate. Thank you! Hopefully this time next year my leg lowers and lifts won’t be uncomfortable.

Finally!!! This and another video made years ago are the only ones that go in depth about internal snapping hip syndrome! I went to the doctor and told them about it, but they looked at me like I was weird and disregarded my concern. I'll try these exercises for a while and edit this comment to share my results. Thank you! Edit: Turns out these exercises revealed tension and other problems I have with multiple leg/hip muscles. I'm currently doing additional exercises and stretches outside of what's mentioned in this video. Nonetheless, this video diagnosed these problems better than any doctor I've visited so far.

Thank you for posting a very detailed and specific video on stretches and exercises for SHS. I have experienced the clicking since high-school sports over 20 years ago, especially while doing the 6 inch core exercises, like opening and closing legs, feet slightly off the ground. There never used to be any pain, so I ignored it over the years. Now, in my current career, I wear a belt that puts a lot of load on my lower back and hips, do a lot of sitting throughout with sudden instances of having to go into full sprints without being able to stretch prior. After close to 20 years of that, I am now having issues on my left hip area with clicking and pain, even in my lower back. I walk, run and do hypertrophy and crossfit style workouts 3 to 4 times a week as well. The pain is becoming unbearable and is affecting my ability to sprint faster. I've done 2 rounds of PT and also go to a chiropractor which has helped a little. How often should I do the stretches and exercises you demonstrated here? Should it be daily? Or just on the days I exercise? Thank you again for the information.

36 male; popping on left side when I lower my leg as demonstrated. I’ve had this tightness in my lower back on that side for years. The 90/90 stretch was ILLUMINATING.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Thank you Catalina! I hope they helped. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@misterbulger]

I'll have to try some of these tips... Weak glutes + overdeveloped quads. Common in weekend warrior cyclists and after SI joint injury. My right glute medius was basically paralyzed. Too much sitting and driving are what flare mine up. Especially if I go from a long week of office work and traveling and then try to do anything athletic or even just spend time on my feet or walking too much. Things that help a lot: daily stretching the hip with a heavy resistance band pulling the hip back in the socket while lunging forward on one knee, also exercises that isolate the glutes and glute medius (nobody targets this through exercise). Keep all strain off the hip flexor while maximizing the glute squeeze. Check out Bret Conteras' Glute Lab. His program is designed for models to develop their glutes while keeping the quads slender and toned and proportional has given people such as myself with snapping hip great results. I feel my right glute starting to get stronger after working at it for about a year. It's really helping. I never noticed how weak and out of balance it was and it was causing my pelvis to twist and my gate to be crooked, putting extra strain on the hip flexor, which causes it to snap and be tight and sore. Also up your lean protein intake to facilitate growing the weak muscles, but dont increase calories so you dont increase body fat. I also supplement with HMB which is supposed to help injured muscles heal and grow faster. I think it helps. If your hip flexor gets too tight and knotted, dry needle trigger point therapy can be a godsend. Somebody qualified like a physiotherapist or certain chiropractors who are licensed to place acupuncture needles near the femoral artery can help you release those trigger points. Costs me about about $60-100 session. If the nerves are really flared up you HAVE to get the strain off of them or theyll just get more and more irritated and you'll be on the downward spiral to becoming crippled. If you have an unstable SI joint, get that addressed too. I sit on a memory foam cushion with a cutout for my tailbone which seems to help my pelvis stability a lot too. Avoid sitting for my than 15 minutes at a time when at all possible. Add a memory foam lumbar cushion too for more relief in the car and at your desk. Available on Amazon. Also have had prolotherapy injections in my SI and hip capsule to aid stability. A regenerative doctor provided them. Very expensive and painful but I think they helped some long term (but may make it worse initially) Unfortunately your health insurance will be useless in treating this issue. Feel free to ask me questions I've tried everything over the last 15 years but finally had an major breakthrough trying these things. .

This condition has been bothering me for years. It comes and goes (usually comes after I've been desk-bound for a long time). I wonder if it could lead to more severe joint or functional issue if left unattended. Thank you.

Thank you for the detailed explanation and a broad range of types of exercises. I wish I'd bumped into this video before, sadly I bumped into it researching about my injury two days ago. I always had popping hips which I didn't mind and continued with leg raises and various straight leg exercises to strengthen my flexors. I think I strengthened them quite well but never really stretched them right so far. I only did 90-90s which didn't affect much on its own. I can't even get close to a pigeon pose, my hips are tight as hell even though I'm quite flexible, full front splits and quite extended back bends. Just the damn hips always saying "Nope. Not gonna stretch. Not moving." my whole life.. But two days ago when I was doing straddle inversions on my aerial hoop (basically starting from a hanging position to 180 inversion with legs in straddle position) the left pocket in my hip popped and I had instant, crazy pain. Now it's better but if I stand up from a chair with my legs >90° apart, I get instant pain. Leg raises also, instant pain. I thought I felt my bone hurt from friction at that pocket which I know sounds stupid but it's literally how I feel. I'll wait and see in a bit but do you have any ideas to what could be the problem? (I have a long waiting list for my physio appointment so I have to wait)

I discovered that there's popping sound around my hip flexor region, and i hear it quite often when i do movements like leg raise, or side plank with leg movement (touching) to elbow. i have found that this issue around hip flexor region is creating issue while running, like there is not complete freedom of movement when i move my leg up (as in when we stride, front leg comes up but its not reaching its full range of motion). your video, i believe address the issue, I'll try work on these aspects and see if it helps me. thanks a lot for this information. \m/

Thank you for the detail and sharing your experience and the therapies.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

You are most welcome. Do let me know how it goes with the exercises and stretches. Best wishes, Ashley.

I only get it when I’m standing up and doing knee raises (knees to chest type motion) and it happens louder when I point my knees away from my body’s centerline, it that the same condition?

[@cathrinfroyen3436]

Hi! Thanks for this. I struggle with this huge clunk sound in both sides of my hips. Usually it gets worse from doing a lot of squats and lunges. Last night it was waking me up cause just lifting my legs to change position was enough to make it pop. I know I haven't been stretching as I should lately. I usually try to go to yoga regularly as this particular class has leglifts that don't make my hips clunk! I have thought it was a combo of stretching in the start of the class, and being very focused on the movement, like you say, keeping the back pressing down. The diagonal stretch you showed here was really good (or sickening or what to call this sensation. not pain.). It stretches from on the inside of the hip bone and up the body. I will repeat it over the following days and weeks and hope I can get rid of it and keep it away.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Thank you so much! Glad you found the video helpful. Do let me know how it goes with the exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@branjay3588]

Can you update us on your progress with this?

[@FranksCreativeCorner]

Gonna try this. I started taekwondo this year and when I side kick my hip gets locked in my right side, then I have to do this sort of rotation with my leg to unlock it, otherwise it feels uncomfortable and I can't stretch my leg as far back. I do make the mistake of getting exited and doing it without warming up first sometimes, but others it just still locks. I also experienced these clunks when doing abs with leg lifting. I didn't care much at the beginning, but now even after training it still feels weird, like my muscle is constantly in the way of my hip and I'm a bit worried. I'll start taking better care of my body, and hope it's nothing serious. Thank you!

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

You are most welcome! Glad to hear the video was informative. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@meaganchristel8236]

I have chronic pain on one side, clicking/popping - it radiates from my lower back to my groin and down the side of my knee. It feels worse with more use. I was checked for labral tear. If the pain is from SI joint I’ve tried PT, injections, etc but it always comes back.

fantastic explanation - thank you !

What happens if this doesn't get diagnosed and treated for thirty years? I went to my doctors twenty years ago and they gave me opioid painkillers but all this did is allow me to tolerate more and more pain so I'm now thirty years in and no physiotherapy was done and I'm now in horrific pain. How do I get this diagnosed and treated? It's showing up on x-ray or MRI.

[@monicag.6462]

Happy New Year and today I’ve discovered your channel. I’ve had an MRI and a steroid injection on my hip due to the clicking sound with pain. I hurt myself while doing a sumo squat about 4 years ago. I’ve had PT with some relief but it just comes back. Today I’ve tried your exercises with exception to one., but I felt GREAT!!! my question is., would I be able to do these movements on a daily? Or do I need to focus first on flexibility for a couple of weeks or months and then strengthening?

[@Wildviking8]

Best video I've come across in explaining this, I've recently started training again and developed sciatica and noticed this popping sound when doing leg raises, it doesn't feel like it's coming from hip..but more back..unless that's just the vibration ?..I have been very stressed out lately and that's when the muscle tightness in back..buttocks started and the popping sound freaked me out..hopefully these exercises and distressing with sort it out ?

[@SkillciaX]

Yeah I'm getting it in my left hip... this is a more recent thing for me. Some days are better than others

[@Rycka9]

Thanks for the info in video. Just had a quick question. So at the moment I don't do much cardio like activity. Would activities such as elliptical trainer, cycling and running help with hip stiffness and cracking? I'm also doing the stretches

[@ArthurLim-fb8nz]

I'd chronic buttock sharp pain for over 6 years. The pain only encountered when walking, so limping on one side is unavoidable. Since I understand from your YouTubing videos posting that stretching the glute muscles will release the tight glutes gradually and mitigate the pain , is it possible to use a massage gun instead of doing the figure-4 stretch which I find difficult to do it at all

[@fleurmal7648]

I went to a chiropractor for intense back pain. I left with no back pain, but but didn't realize right away that my hip now clicks if I take larger steps 😅 hoping this helps

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Sorry to hear about your hip. I hope the video is helpful. Do let me know how it goes with the exercises. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@michaell.8218]

I’ve had bad hip flexor tendinitis for a few years. I used to do a lot of deadlifts and some squats. I took a summer off and lounged around and tried squatting heavy and my legs immediately spasmed and wouldn’t move. Not much progress since then except for learning of tendinitis. Also accompanies sciatica and lower back discomfort. These leg raises are hard

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

I'm so sorry to hear about your hip issues . Have you tried any of the stretches yet? Please keep me posted on your progress. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@brentcaldwell7485]

Will these address a popping sensation more in the SI joint\back of the hip area on leg extension (as with bicycling the legs during ab exercises)?

[@djustilien]

Both of mine pop and feel like it's bone moving on bone. In all directions. I do have arthritis and have had a laminectomy in my lumbar spine. Not sure if any of this ties together. I have tried different stride lengths and still is there. Just not comfortable to move but I try and it leaves me in pain.

[@kimcrowe8873]

Hi, Thank you for the awesome video! I have a clunking feeling in my hips but only when move to lie on side, such as to get into a side plank, when I do single leg deadlifts (clunking all down the middle of my pelvis) or crossing my legs over such as during the IT band stretch in you video. No problem lifting my legs. Have you ever come across this before? Thanks

[@emammadov]

This is great! Thanks a lot for the advice.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

You're most welcome @emammadov! I hope it helped. Best wishes, Ashley.
