4 Exercises to Fix Internal Snapping Hip Syndrome (Psoas Strengthening)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- Want to get to the root cause of snapping hip syndrome? Maybe you’re considering surgery but aren’t sure if it’s really necessary?
Coach E and Dr. B discuss the root causes behind snapping hips or iliopsoas tendonitis before diving into 4 exercises that will address the root cause. (Hint: it’s not surgery!)
Today they’re focusing on the internal category of hip snapping, where the iliopsoas skips over the bone in your pelvis, causing you to feel that clunk.
Coach E also demonstrates the Thomas Test. this will show you if you have work to do lengthening your psoas. Shortened or tight iliopsoas muscles tend to be common in people who sit much of the day and women after childbirth.
Next, they’ll show you four easy, at-home exercises to improve control over your psoas and increase the length to get rid of snapping hip syndrome for good.
And don’t forget to stop stretching your hip flexors in the interim.
If you find this helpful, like, subscribe, and tap notify because we’re releasing a new video or two every week. Even if you don’t have the movement concern we’re covering, you’ll still learn something about your body and what you can do to ensure you can keep doing what you love.

I thought I was the only one with the hip snapping! I’m glad majority of everybody in the comment got it as well lol
Welcome to the group :)
How many times a day to do these sets? And how long does it take (or you’ve seen people with snapping hip) before snapping is reduced or eliminated ??
@@monicag.6462 follow the routine once per day and 2 - 3 times per week. You should notice changes after 2 - 4 weeks of consistent practice :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
You are on a snapping hip video bro.
Had no idea this had a name. Have tried all sorts of things to stop the clicking when I workout. Thank you.
Glad that you found it!
I am a sports therapist and have had a clunking left hip whenever I perform leg raises and toe taps etc during Pilates, I have always keep my back pressed into the floor. I did these exercises today whilst watching you both and absolutely no clunking and snapping at all? Normally I have to really over engage my core to prevent excessive snapping. This is amazing, thankyou so much.
Great work!
I started working out consistently a few months ago and noticed when I do certain leg movements there's a popping in my hip, but only on the left side. I had never noticed it before, it doesn't happen when I walk. This video just happened to pop up on my UA-cam feed, and I'm so happy it did! That popping hasn't started to lessen since working out, but now I know how to get rid of it for good! Thanks guys!
Thanks for watching :)
Mine is just the left side too. Have you been able to make progress on this since you discovered these exercises?
@@homestylegravy hope he responds
@@homestylegravyhave you ?😭
I experience hypermobility and have been managing snapping hip for a long time. I have tried protocols from doctors, chiropractors, PTs, youtube etc. Stretches and other exercise might work for people who are less mobile than me but I haven't had success yet. What you are offering here is unique, refreshing, and the science/ theory is available by the way you're talking about it. Thank you, I'm looking forward to trying these out.
Let us know how it goes!
Also, check out this video:

Came here to ask about this same thing. My psoas isn't short nor tight; in fact, since I have hEDS it's too stretchy if anything! This looks different and might actually help.
@@stefflcus It can definitely help you out as can this video:

Did it help?

Well … this is kind of amazing. I just figured I was stuck with the mysterious hip clunk when I walked. Didn’t know it was a “syndrome” and there was a way to fix it. I’m just starting your exercises now for a variety of issues including this one. Looking forward to the session about External Snapping Hip. Thanks
Nice work and thanks for watching :)
How to address different snapping joints would be a great series. I see in the comments that others complain of this issue in other joints. I have it in my left ankle when I do external rotations. I also have it in my hip, so I will be trying these exercises. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the suggestion :)
I was diagnosed with torso tunnel, any videos you could send my way that would help?
@@ssdwhd I'm not sure what that is. Can you describe it in more detail?
Talk to you soon :)
@@PrecisionMovementCoach I know it's a year old but I think they might mean Tarsal Tunnel? haha
Wow, I can’t believe the ball on psoas worked! I’ve been to several therapists & their exercises made my psoas tighter! Thank you so much!
You are welcome!
As a manual therapist, this is a terrific video, great knowledge and science-backed correction exercises.
Thank you!
Our pleasure!
After one session of these exercises my snapping has stopped, I will keep doing them. Thank you both!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing your results :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Thank you coach E. Your techniques have improved every joint in my body. Having found this channel has been a blessing.
Awesome!
Wow! Years ago (before UA-cam!) I was experiencing this in one hip and just accepted it as a deformity. It was kinda alarming for those around me warming up with ab bicycle crunch exercises in martial arts class as my hip was clunking 😬
I'm going to start working on lengthening & strengthening the psoas today. Thank you so much for this!
You are welcome and thanks so much for trying it out.
Keep us posted on your progress :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
This may be the greatest UA-cam video I've ever found! For the life of me I haven't been able to find a video that addresses the pain I feel in the front of my hip!
Glad that you found it!
The lumbar lordosis was what I was missing. I love the ROM Coach app. As an HVAC tech, who isn’t always working in the best body positions, the app helps my body immensely!!! Thank you guys❤
You are welcome!
I've had the snap/thump for years but never really thought about the cause as it never caused me pain. Great exercises and I can definitely feel my Psoas working for the 1st time ever. Snap briefly disappeared after just doing your exercises once. I'll adding to my routine and hopefully the SNAP disappears. Thanks guys 👍🏼
You are welcome and thanks for trying it out :)
Had this for years. Did this routine once and felt 37 cracks throughout my left hip, back, shoulder, and neck. Highly recommended. Thank you
Good stuff!
I had never heard of this until I was recommended this video today, but I’ve had this problem in my right hip for my whole life! I will try out the exercises! Thank you so much!!
You are welcome!
Thank you coach sir, so glad to come across ur Chanel, life has changed... getting pain free of years day by day 🙏
Thanks for watching :)
Really reassuring to know that it's more of a neuromuscular activation problem than anything else. That explains so much.
:)
I told my mother about the clicking sound in my left hip when I was a teenager. She wasn't interested. My Aunt, a seamstress, kept telling me to stand up straight when she was hemming my skirts and dresses. My left side was shorter than my right. A doctor told me when I was also a teen, that one of my shoulders was higher than the other. Nobody ever tried to find out why. Last year, at age 75(!!) I finally learned about snapping hip syndrome. I still don't know the cause, but when in 40's a brilliant exercise teacher/ballet dancer, asked me if I'd ever had a fall as a child. I fell down my grandmother's stairs on my tailbone.
Thank you for this video. Why don't more people in medicine and physical therapy know about this?
Subscribed. 🙏🏼
You are welcome and thanks for following along :)
The click that vibrated through my bed when I lowered my right leg omw. No idea. This is so helpful, thank you! 😄
You are welcome!
Finally I found someone that knows what to do. Three weeks now excruciating pain and snapping. I watched quite a few of your videos tonight & did some of your exercises & already feel some relief from groin pain and snapping. Thank you so much I look forward to more videos! Susan
I couldn't even sit on the toilet, get in & out of the car. I have a feeling this is really going to help me!! 🙏
@@ssdwhd Glad that you found us :)
This is such a helpful, thorough video of exactly what i need for my hip! I’m excited to do these exercises consistently to improve the pain in my hip. Recently my snapping hip syndrome has turned to be very painful to even walk, especially after driving longer than 30 mins. I’m really hoping it will heal through mind to muscle intentional exercises. Very grateful for this information!
Happy to help and let us know how it goes :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
I have had this syndrome since I was a kid. I have recently started reformer pilates and noticed it coming back in full force.
Watching this video made me feel super validated and informed. I have not tried the exercises yet but I will tomorrow morning. Thank you so much for providing this content. Can’t wait to see how I go.
Thanks for sharing!
Let us know how it goes :)
This is so fun to watch. I've been using these techniques with patients for years, and most practitioners of any kind never even touch the psoas, never mind balancing it, so this make me happy to see others having the same insights and teaching this as well, and I will gladly share this video with my patients and family/friends. The impact of a healthy psoas can be really significant on other movement patterns and overall wellbeing. Thank you for this video! 🙏
Thanks for following along :)
What kind of doctor are you? I've seen 3 chiropractors, a physical therapist, an orthopedic surgeon, and 2 pain specialists. They all have different opinions and mostly just brush it off.
@@homestylegravyI believe he’s a PT and she’s an orthopedic surgeon?
A MILLION THANK YOUS!!! I went through a sedentary period for a couple years being a FT student then back to back struggles with Covid. I was in the worst shape of my life. April of 2022 I started working out extensively and consistently but was suffering with the terrible hip pop! It was affecting my workouts because I would compensate in an unnatural way to try to avoid it. I literally went through the routine once last night, and once today and it is 100% gone!!!!! I was about to go to the Dr. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome and we are happy to help :)
You both are such a blessing! I'm a new RMT and your instruction has been incredibly helpful. Thank you!
Thank you!!!
I have had this my whole life and never knew how to improve it! I always assumed it wasn't great since even though it doesn't exactly hurt it doesn't feel good either. So excited to finally have some exercises to help with this hip snapping. 😊
Yes!
We are so happy that you finally found us.
Keep working on it and let us know if you have any more questions :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Thanks for this Coach - was told years ago 'not to worry' about snapping hip. Now imbalance coming back to hit me with a bit more age and desire to keep running. Working your methodology, getting back to running with a smile in my heart as well as the right kind of grimacing smile on my face as push again to test limits. Appreciate the authoritative input making these comprehensive guides
You are so welcome!
We are so happy that you found us and are eager to read how you are doing :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
WOW! You truly deserve alot more subscribers my dear friend.. job well done👏👏
Thanks :)
I've been following your video on lateral hip pain after a nasty injury, and it's been helping but progress has been quite slow. I've also always had a clunky hip my whole life as well as increased lumbar lordosis on the injured side, so figured I'd add this series in and see what happened. Well, two days of this series added into my exercises and I've had more relief than in several weeks. May be a good one to link to your hip pain series :)
I owe you both heaps, thank you so much for doing what you do!
That is so great to read!
Thanks for trying it out and for keeping us posted on your progress :)

This is awesome! I will be telling my patients with this issue. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing!
Dang. A DATA driven and well explained and reasoned presentation. By actual professionals. Thank you.
Much appreciated and you are welcome :)
Me!!!! Along with s.i. joint issues. Thank you for identifying this and giving me the tools to remedy this after 30 years!!
You are so welcome :)
WONDERFUL information THANK you I can’t wait to try these…have had snapping hip/short psoas for decades!
Let us know how it goes :)
I have watched and tried all kinds of exercise videos for my hip pain and your video makes the most sense.
Thanks for watching!
We are happy that our content is helpful to you :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
I’ve had this snapping hip thing for years, initially it wasn’t causing any pain so although it was unnerving it was just something that happened and I didn’t even try to fix it. Eventually I’m sure I irritated the bursa or gave myself tendinitis by working out and doing exercises how the instructor said to (tilting hips to press the spine into the mat during leg lifts - I think this teacher has Pilates as a background). At this point I can’t do most leg lift exercises without pain and my hip is constantly popping. Found this video last night and did the exercises shown, today no hip pop?? What. Even. Is. This. Magic. I’m sure it’s not ‘fixed’ but this is very encouraging progress. Thank you so so so much you two are angels for sharing your knowledge with us all 🙌
Amazing!
Thanks for sharing your story and for trying it out :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
hi how r u now?
I guess this is the price for all the years of training and trying to stay in shape! My snapping hip is so bad it literally stops me in my tracks out of nowhere- so frustrating! Glad to know I’m not alone. Awesome video- thorough explanation and great exercises I plan to start doing today.
You got this!
Thanks for trying it out and let us know how it goes. You should notice changes after 4 weeks of practice (2 - 3 times weekly).
:)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
I have this and will try this out.
Loved how You walked through this all and I will do my best to post back here once I have practiced this. Thank You so much ❤
Have fun!
Psoas activation sounds like a key concept. Another piece of the puzzle! Thanks
You are welcome :)
Thanks so much for the vid! I've had a snapping hip since forever and it's a real pain during ab workouts (leg raises etc.). I tried a couple of other videos, but I found the usual focus on stretching not useful, bc my hips/psoas aren't all that tight. But the control and activation exercises here really felt different! I usually try to keep my lower back pressed into the floor during core exercises since that's how it was taught in a Pilates class. But keeping the lordosis and the pelvic floor activated is something that I feel might really make a difference (too early to tell yet). I'll certainly come back to this! Thanks again!
Thanks for watching :)
Did it help bella?
Wow, amazing! My "good hip" (the one not replaced) has been snapping loudly when I do bicycle exercises and I thought "Oh no, HIP will need to be replaced soon!" But it's painless, unlike the arthritic hip that was replaced, so I had no clue of the cause.
Leave it to Coach E and Dr. B to fix every nick and cranny in the body! THANK YOU once again!
Happy to help!
OMG I've had this as long as I can remember. Will definitely try these exercises!
Please do!
This is valuable information. I enjoy the thoroughness I will keep doing the exercises. Thanks
Thanks for watching!

So glad i found this video thank you so much ive been dealing with this for 2 months from a track injury and i didnt know what to do to treat it. After doing these exercises I tested my hip flexion and it was so much better thank you, i will make sure i do these exercises at least twice or three times per week to ensure that my hip recovers.
Nice work! Thanks for trying it out :)
I almost already gave up, I thought it was just an age thing (in my forties). I'd go to a physiotherapist, but he could not help. Just stumbled across your video. Thanks so much. It was such a relieve to extent my leg without the snap.
Yes!
We are so glad that you found us :)
This video needs to be linked on mayo clinic and health line or whatever. I spent so long Googling this condition, and the internet said, "it sounds weird, but it won't hurt you, so just ignore it... unless it does hurt, then you need surgery." Finally, I find something validating my condition and a REAL treatment plan. Thank you guys!
Wow, thanks for that!
We are glad that you found it. Thanks for stopping by to try it out and comment.
Let us know if you have any more questions :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Accurate and straight to the point. Love it
QUESTION: can you provide info about your wider mat?
Thanks for stopping by!
That mat can be purchased at most exercise equipment stores. It's quite unremarkable in fact and many companies manufacture something similar.
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Thank you for teaching the exercises. Would you please create a video of the exercise reps so I can just follow along and be done with my routine for the day?
You are welcome and thanks for the suggestion :)
Best video i have seen on snapping hip!! Making sure to have those ack hip bones on the. Ground made a huge difference
Glad it helped!
I always wondered what caused that snapping feeling when doing leg lifts. I've been compensating for it when I lower my legs, I circle them out rather than straight down which prevents the snapping. Thanks for this video!!
You are welcome! It's great that the video helped :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Man this is a Life saver! Thank you ❤️
Happy to help!
Ive had this for years, a real pain when at the gym doing leg extension work. I'm also finding aching, especially at night, around my trochanter and to the front at my TFL and slightly down my leg. So seems like I need a lot of careful work to do in and around the hip area to decrease inflammation and strengthen the psoas, TFL and glute med. Not surprising, I sit A LOT during the day. Thank you Coach E and Doc B.
That is too long to go with that pain!

Crazy what we find when we dig deep,and this thing came out of nowhere years ago. I had no idea what it was, thanks doc.
You are welcome :)
I found my snapping hip issue, which became a locking issue during outdoor walks in the cold, was not helped much by daily stretching the front of the hip. It was helped more when I discovered the ultimate culprit was a very knotted and tight piriformis in the back of the hip. Took a long time to figure out, because the locking and pain was in the front, and no pain from behind.
I'm keen to try your strengthening exercises. Thanks.
Let us know how it goes :)
Well, I haven't watched the whole video because the "Thomas test" at 2:35 has revealed that I had a very tight Psoas muscle. I had terrible clicking and groin pain. Probably brought on by compensating for my bad back problem. Been stretching it for 15 mins and I feel so much better. Thank you Precision Movement.
You are welcome and make sure to try out all of the exercises :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
Do you have lack of hip internal rotation as well on both sides?
@@robk9330 No. I had no restriction in rotational movement. I tested that because I originally thought my hip was kaput.
@@brad9205 Thanks for your reply. I have very limited hip internal rotation on both sides, but I think its my adductors that are very tight causing this due to my tight/weak psoas.
@@robk9330 It's worth thoroughly investigating your symptoms because in my experience there is often a cause that can be addressed. I went years with terrible stomach pains before realising I was just eating too fast. And with this, the hip and groin pain; was months before I realised it was very tight muscles.
Another great video 🙏
Thanks again!
Gracias por todos tips que das 🙏 sería genial si pudiera estar traducido con mejor precisión, ya que toda la información que entregan es súper valiosa.... Gracias por todo lo entregado🤸♀️

Thank God I just came across this video!! I didn’t know why my hood were starting to snap. Definitely going to try this out!
Good luck!
This is a brilliant video, giving me some hope after 2 years. None of the other protocols have worked. Mine started with a groin / abdominal injury playing football. I think my psoas became overactive to compensate on the other side. My glute on the clunking side doesn't seem to fire anymore.
Nice work!
So valuable info..now I know I have Psoas muscles problem..thank you
You are welcome!
Thank you so much, praying that this exercises help me!
Thanks for trying it out and let us know how it goes :)

I'm praying for you too 😊
This is hilarious.
I bookmarked this video to do the excersize.
I did the Thomas test and my hip would normally snap. It didn't. I asked myself what's happening cuz I haven't done the excersizes yet.
But a few weeks ago i had an epiphany about the importance of pelvis awareness.
So I'd like to confirm that awareness and control is key
Pelvic awareness is definitely important. Let us know if you try the exercises :)

@@PrecisionMovementCoach Thank you. Your videos are always worth a watch ! It's a few hours after training when things cool down when the pains come back. It appears being warm makes it easier. Horribly frustrating. But I have been able to make jogs lately. The pain remains the same throughout the run, it is often gone an hour afterwards and then returns at night. But I am still fighting. Again, thanks for the videos.

Thanks very much both of you, that's very instructive...
Lateral hip down and Supine Hip PNF exercise makes so much pain in my right hip and making click sound and snap😢 (not with left hip, its ok)
When I am standing, i did my right hip pasively Extension+External rotation that was 9/10 like so much pain and again click sound and snap on my hip joint 😢
May be its FAI or iliopsoas bursitis/tendinitis i dont know.
I am emergency med doc and our shifts 24 hour at standing and walking. I realized that when i am standing i give my all body load to right hip. Than at home continually sitting and not doing any exersize. I have anterior pelvic tilt, lumbar lordosis and a little belly fat 😂 and week abdomen muscles.
I ll start as soon as exercise program with your videos.
Thanks for watching and for trying it out.
Keep us posted on your progress :)

Thank you for this, Eric and Erin. I've been doing these exercises for four or five days now, and though my hip still snaps, I've had a noticeable reduction in hip pain. Also, I'm nearsighted, and my vision often gets sharper when doing the exercises.
You are so welcome.
How are you now?
That's cool about your vision :)
- Coach Joshua, Team PM
@@PrecisionMovementCoach Yeah, it was cool. I wish I had more control over it. I've still got problems with pelvic imbalance, & I'm working on it with an osteopath & massage therapist, as well as exercises. Also, I've subscribed to your channel. And taken up wall-climbing.
This video is so helpful. I used to have this badly. It would almost send me to the ground when I was just out walking. It would just come out of nowhere. It wasn't painful but the snapping made my whole leg go weak. Someone mentioned labral tears and I got really depressed thinking that was it and I'd need surgery. Eventually it got a lot better. I had taken up running and was doing a lot of work around my hips with the LAX ball. Maybe that helped. I still get it from time to time but it's very minor. These exercises feel like they will fix the occasional flare ups. Thank You Dr B and Coach E!

Incredible 🙌🏻 thank you
You bet!
Man I was in the military and although I was diagnosed with arthritis & impingement in both hips. I was sent to physical therapy & had to take injections every couple of weeks.
Now, although they touched on a lot of these exercises and demonstrated how I'm just biomechanically jacked (my left left is slightly shorter, bad posture/walking gait, prone to IT band injuries, and arthritic knees.
However, no one ever diagnosed me with snapping hip or addressed my Psoas when I would explicitly explain the exact pain I was feeling.
Snapping hip hurts! Lol hips are always super tight, not aligned properly, and when I tell you sitting up, stretching or extending the leg is not a good feeling.
Watching your videos as they pinpoint the exact problem areas have done more in the first viewing than spending months in rehad or taking the cortisone shots in the hip. The tightness is still there, but I was immediately relieved on first viewing in this video!
Thanks so much!

I have that clunk/snap on my left side when I do ab work lifting and lowering legs or doing bicycle crunches. I never understood it! So glad I found this and will begin practicing. How often would you recommend doing these? Daily?
Happy to help!
2 - 3 times per week is sufficient.
Also, consider doing this program:

thanks, coincidently exactly the right video today. One of my patients (treating for neck problems) just aked me today at the end of the session, if I could do something there. She only noticed this a couple days ago. So maybe she can solve her problem on her own and we can focus on the main problem (which of course could be connected to her new problem). 👍
Nice work :)
Thank you two so much.
You are welcome!
It really works, amazing, thank you so much! ❤
You're welcome!
Thank you for the video! I would love to hear your take on a biceps femoris that snaps on the lateral side of the knee. I have had success with stretching muscles in the calf area, but it seems odd since this tendon is attached to muscle that is involved with more hip and knee action.
Great suggestion.
Check out this program for more ideas on how to address the root cause of the issue:

Dr. B would be a great character in a Star Trek movie or TV show. "Dr. B, Chief Medical Officer of Star Ship Voyager".

I quit cross country and track in 9th grade I believe it was after conferences, invitationals, and JV to almost Varsity? It’s been so long I don’t even remember if there’s anything between. I wasn’t very serious about what I did, because I figured it was something to not be serious about because that particularly just felt right. I did it and learned, as well as making good friends all for the fact that it was what I loved, running was something that felt instinct to me. It made me feel like I could literally surpass the pain and meaning that had been inflicted on my mind watching my family members destroy themselves and become such weak spirited people. I thought that if I could run I could shed the weight of witnessing what I perceived to be my heritage. That I would inevitably be alone, like dad. And I gave it up because that pain in my hip would not go away. It turned my youth’s exploits into nothing but dust, long dissipated. I really cannot stress enough, the work that you’ve done despite my initial anger and frustration with myself alone while hesitantly trying to listen to you health folk talk me through the healing methods I can say that I am relived to know that your video helped undo years’ worth of pain. Thank you, I will now do animal movement free of hip popping.
Thanks for trying it out and keep us posted on your progress :)

PLEASE ADD THE EXTERNAL EXERCISEs for Hip clicking. I'm amazed at your knowledge and it gives me hope to conquer hip clicking without surgery. I've tried PT and Roffing. I want to get back to walking or even running.
Will do!
In the meantime, the Hip Pain Solution can help you to get started:

@@PrecisionMovementCoach Thank you sooo much. I am 67 and in otherwise great shape. I have exercised my whole life but I find that I am limited by what I can do right now. I am walking backwards since I don't get a hip click then. In rolfing, I am learning how to breathe and to get my body in the proper position.
Great information thanks 👍☺️
You're welcome!
Awesome video.Thanks
You are welcome :)
I have had this problem for a year and couldn't find anything to help. Thank you!! I stand a lot for work and it is so tight I have a hard time bending after to sit.
You are so welcome and we are so happy that you found us.
Keep doing the exercises and you will be moving and grooving for years to come :)
