Summary

Almost everyone experiences a little "snap, crackle, pop" in their body when they move, whether intentionally created when you twist to crack your back or unintentionally as you squat down. In this episode, I'm breaking down what's actually making all that noise, how I help my clients figure out when a sound is worth paying attention to versus when it's completely fine, and why the fix usually isn't some special corrective exercise. If you're a coach or movement pro, this is also language you can borrow the next time a client panics about their clicking knee.
