Physical Therapy for Snapping Hip Syndrome
Snapping hip syndrome is a common injury among dancers, gymnasts, runners, and soccer players. Snapping hip syndrome occurs when a hip muscle or tendon slides and stretches over the hip bone, then snaps when tension is released during movement, causing pain and tightness in the front, back, or side of the hip. Physical therapy can help to loosen tension in the hip and strengthen and heal the muscles and tendons causing snapping hip syndrome for a safe return to sport and dance.
