What is Tendonitis of the Hip?
Tendonitis of the hip, often referred to as "snapping hip syndrome," is a condition characterized by a snapping or clicking sound in the hip during specific movements. It may also cause pain when bending over or lifting the knees towards the chest. This issue arises due to irritation or inflammation of the hip-flexor tendon, which crosses over the hip socket. Causes of tendonitis include repetitive movement and overuse or improper stride or walking habits.
