Popping hips

[VBTClara05]

I'm having a little problem in ballet class. Whenever I grand battment, ( or come down from any extension really) my hip pops. I real a bunch of pops as I'm going up to the front, and I feel one big one as I come down in a le seconde(sorry if spelling is incorrect). Is this a problem. It always happens but lately it's starting to bother me. Is there anything I can do to prevent or at least help this problem??

Not being a medical person, rather a ballet teacher, I am not qualified to answer your question. However, there have been many questions regarding the same sensation. Run a search.

 

If the popping is accompanied by pain, you might consider a visit to a medical professional.

Knock, Knock.

Not a teen but a parent. I am not a medical person but my DD had the same problem a few years ago. We found that going to a chiropractor helped. Here is link to the Harkness Center for Dance Injuries that can give you more information.Harkness Center for Dance Injuries

Nope, not gonna delete. Any post advising contacting Harkness in regard to dance injuries is a good one!

Thank you very much msd053!! That website really helped me to understand a little better what was happening. I'm gonna talk it over with my mom and i'll probably get it looked at. Thanks!!
