How To Get Rid of Popping-Hip Syndrome

How To Get Rid of Popping-Hip Syndrome
We always tell our clients to listen to what their bodies are saying. Sometimes, we mean that literally--as with the case of a popping hip. Runners may feel the sensation or hear the sound of snapping or clicking when their hip is flexed and extended. This occurs when a muscle or a tendon moves abnormally over a bone. In the hip, this can happen at the iliotibial band (outside of the hip) or the iliopsoas tendon (pelvic area). Runners should take it as a sign that their medial hip rotators (part of the hip-flexor group) are weak and inflexible. Strengthening them and increasing their range of motion will stop the pop and prevent hip bursitis (inflammation of the sacs that let muscles move smoothly over bone), a painful condition that can disrupt your running.
