How to manipulate the hip

Here is a nice way to combine mobilisations and manipulations for the hip.
Great event while teaching the medical team at Borussia Dortmund in Germany, looking at how we can integrate mobilisations and manipulations for the athlete.

I heard this loud popping sound of cavitation when I was stretching my hamstrings. I was seated with my legs straddled into abduction and stretched over to reach my right toes when I heard a large “pop”. It was painful, however, when I shook it out, everything was ok. Did I manipulate my own hip?

The concept about hip manipulation is a bit of a misconception, you’re not actually manipulating the hip joint, it’s a crazy strong ball and socket joint.. the bodies designed to make pops and clicks and cracks, it’s designed to move.. The sound could’ve been anything… The main thing is you’re not in any pain and everything is fine, any future issues may be worth a consult with a qualified physical therapist.

What kind of mobilization strap is that? thank you

You can buy yourself a nice cheap mobilisation strap via any online retailer. It doesn’t have to be branded or expensive.
