Thank you for giving a concise breakdown of the issue and a plan of action with lots of modifications for customizability. This and your FAI video have been extremely helpful for me. I spent months looking around at other PT videos on RUclips, and they all either keep you on the hook to watch more videos without quite telling you everything you need to know, or worse, they try to sell you an exercise plan (or products with the promise that they'll help!!) after they hook you. Thank you for not being another sleazy PT channel. You rock.
This video stopped me from googling so many questions I kept asking over and over year after year w no answer. I have an internal hip snap that I’ve had probably since I was a young teenager so like, half my life. Never knew why and always seemed like I was the only one I knew w this issue. Thank you for helping explain it & lmk there’s others like me & they’re completely healthy and normal people
This has set my worries to rest from just learning that it isn't something to worry about in my case, that it's painless and doesn't affect RoM. Thank you!
I love the evidence-based nature of your videos. Few physical therapists go through the effort to post their sources. Your channel is incredibly helpful and informational. Thank you for this great content. If you were near me I'd really want to go be your patient for my problems haha
Just want to say that as a practicing PT, I love your content! Huge fan of the channel and happy to see like-minded, evidence based practice going on. Keep up the great work!
It just feels jarring... Like nails on a chalkboard feeling in my body. I know my nails on the chalkboard aren't harming me, but it makes me feel like I'm going be sick... Externally lol
This is exactly how it is for me! It's slightly painful, but it's way more mentally painful than physically painful. Like maybe a 2/10 physical pain, but I have to stop whatever I'm doing as soon as it happens.
I had an injury so I didn't exercise for almost a year and when I came back to it, I noticed that my hip snapped when exercising, it went like that for like 3 months but now it seems like it's going away and that makes me really happy.
@@wetbreadno8279 it took several months but I don't remember exactly because it wnet away then came back and like that for a while, but I was also told I'm hypermobile so that explains a lot, I never had pain though and only happened with certain type of exercises
oh dude , i got a bad case of this snapping hip after spamming a load of 540 hook kicks in taekwondo and i’ve really been struggling to figure out what exactly it is but this video has pinpointed the exact issue i’m facing . i’ve been scouring the internet for the last two weeks because it’s so difficult to really pinpoint due to the amount of muscles in the hip ! thank you so much for this i can finally become a recovery program !
I have had the internal snapping hip syndrome for years, and it originated from figure skating for me. The reason it occurs in dancers/gymnasts like this is not due to a lack of flexibility or strength, but rather the inverse. When you demand your body be very flexible while also demanding strength, it puts a lot of strain on the muscle. It is having to hyperextend while also flexing, hence causing the snap over the bone. I think this is also why it is common practice to "turn out" as is done in ballet when raising your legs, to help the muscles stretch around the hip joints instead of snapping over them. For me, it is loud and obnoxious, it definitely feels weird, but it has never been painful or something I really worry about. Thank you for mentioning that right in the beginning, it really isn't something everyone needs to freak out over. For me, it's just that those muscles have trained to flex and stretch at the same time, which perhaps is not common for most.
As always, I really appreciate your sound advice that's grounded in EBP and always tend to include a lot of the info in these videos in my treatments as a PT. Keep up the fantastic work guys!
Superb. The two moves at the beginning completely isolated the issue for me. Internal snapping. Going to get to the exercises and mobility. Thank you, much appreciated and blessings. Dropping the 'syndrome'....great too!
I appreciate that you provided so many options and levels to the excercises, this way I was able to find variations that my body didn't say "nope, that looks painful, I'm not doing it" to and felt challenging just the right amount and pain free to practice. I recently figured out that the cause behind the pain I epxerience in various parts of my body is most likely from unstable joints. I watched, practised excercises and took advice from several of your videos and I am so thankful for the in depth explanations and guidance. Even after one time practise I felt at least temporary relief in the targeted areas and I am sure with consistency I will be able to strengthen my joints so I can move pain free and without the risk of unnecessary injury. The point is thank you so much for your efforts, I love your videos.
Weak at the end of the range and an uncoordinated trunk to stabilize while the hip goes to hyperextension. Training the psoas like in the psoas march exercises at the short range mostly won't benefit much.
Im going to try this, doing normal exercises has always been uncomfortable, sit ups to name a few are nothing but popping fests, If this fixes it I'll be forever in love with you
Thank you for the educational video. I find my hip snapping to be more annoying than anything. Sometimes I feel pain sometimes no pain at all but I always hear it. And just on one side with a specific movement. Hoping this steadily fades cause man is it a nuisance
I think mine started happening after a car wreck and fracturing my hip in my teens (1999) . I remember I could feel the pop through the floor and it was entertaining to me. I’ve gotten sore hip pain on that side for the past month and when I did exercises for it yesterday , I noticed the pop when spreading my legs apart and now I have no hip pain anymore . 🤔 popping remains though. Never had any pain with the popping. Glad to hear it’s not a socket issue ! 😅
I haven’t spoke to a dr or anything but I’ve had the internal snapping since I played high school football also 8 years ago and it just randomly flares up but mine definitely feels like a little inflamed and sharp when it’s bothering me but these stretches definitely helped
Mine seems to be a internal one but is audible, I can feel it, and it is mentally uncomfortable but painless. It is extremely demoralizing when doing core workouts that require me to extend my leg out. I hope these can help me.
Wow, you are doing an egregious injustice two many people who think they might have this condition known as snapping hip syndrome. Indeed, it may well be many of the numerous conditions you described with various tendons, but… And this is a big but, the problem can be femoroacetabular impingement. To flippantly say it’s nothing to worry about is an error, because in fact, sometimes it is a lot to worry about. As you should know, every case is different when dealing with the human body, of course, you really shouldn’t have to be told this.
Fair point. He does mentioned his FAI when talking about the third type of snapping hip. I have FAI and have some popping in my left hip, but it’s painless and is hard to tell if it’s related to FAI or snapping hip. I don’t have any of the other FAI symptoms (like groin pain or inability to deep squat) but do have the popping sound. Could be painless labrum damage
my groin has been popping for over 7 years. it pops and cracks every time i extend my hip or sit down cross-legged. i feel like these exercises would be painful since they’re all extension movements. 😭😭
Might an intra-articular snapping video be in the works? My right hip seems to have more of this harmless snapping hip syndrome but my left hip definitely starts every morning locked up until I clunk it back into place and I’d love to have more information on what’s going on there. Thank you so much for all your incredible content!
Thank you so much for this video! Is it possible to have both internal and external? I seem to be experiencing symptoms of both. It feels like it's both the it band and the iliopsoas tendon shifting around because I can hear and feel 2 different distinct noises and I can feel 2 different areas of shifting. in my hip depending on how I move.
I only get snapping hips after laying on my side for 4 hours or so. It hurts so bad, both legs, it wakes me up every night, then I have to do a quad stretch to relieve the pain. I'm not an athlete so it's not caused by that. Any ideas on what to do? I tried stretching nightly, doesn't fix it.
Mine started right after I had a knee replacement. I thought the surgeon messed something up. Mine clicks, or snaps when I walk. It does not hurt, it's just feels freaky. I can feel and hear it.
My hip pain is PAINFUL. it’s mostly in the front and i get a sensation to “pop” it and it makes a click or pop noise . I can’t even sleep on that side of my hip anymore 😪
I advise you to immediately see an excellent physiotherapist you could have a hip arthritis and if not treated in time you will have to be operated on. if you do physical activity, stop doing it for the moment and try to start treatment as soon as possible.
I'm only 22. Why is this happening to my right upper thigh? I noticed it when I re-started a sprinting routine after a two-month hiatus. Could it just be begginers thing that goes away as my body adjusts to sprinting?
If the pop decreases over time, that would mean you are progressing, but if the pops keep happening and afterwards you feel some pain in the area of increased tightness, then maybe try different exercises.
@@darioxbrow9223 Maybe in the first 5 or 10 reps, then it goes away, specially with practice, but if you have pain after doing the exercises it probably means you are forcing a range of motion you don't control yet and so are leaving most of the load directly onto the joints, try doing smaller circles and over time you will get better and be able to open more the range of motion.
Well it's been almost 2 days since I did the exercises and I'm in pain more than ever. I had never had pain before doing them. I hope I didn't fuck up @@DavidBertossi
I'm no expert by any means, but for me my internal snapping often goes coupled with anterior pelvic tilt from excessive sitting. The cause of my snapping doesn't seem to be lack of strength or mobility on its own, but more an imbalance in strength and mobility causing improper hip to femur position during certain movement. Which just means I've been slacking during my workouts on my full range of motion strength exercises, or over working/under working certain muscle-groups.
You are just weak or uncoordinated in that position of hip extension, while you go to the eccentric and stretch you need a good deal of stability coming from the trunk and also control of the hip musculature, i have it too because my left leg is weaker than my right but while i focus on stabilizing the left, the snapping dissapears. Just a matter of repeating and getting stronger in that position and being aware of not letting your pelvis go to anterior pelvic tilt at the end range otherwise you are missing strengthening this very aspect of the motion that is beneficial, keep a pelvis in slight posterior pelvic tilt while doing it and over time i think even with the anterior pelvic tilt you won't have issues as control and strength should have been developed.
@@wetbreadno8279 I would try loaded hip movements that strengthen the hips through a wide range of motion, "quadruped fire hydrants" with a band are worth trying

It’s problematic when it hurts like hell when it snaps.
Address the psoas!!! Weak psoas sometimes. Contract psoas when doing straight leg raise and more.

When it leads to greater trochanteric bursitis...it's miserable.
