FAQs

There is no research to suggest that noise indicates pathology will develop in the future
If your knee makes a sound when you squat, that's usually your knee cap and if there is no pain, that is ok.
If you have pain with popping (crepitus) - may need to look into the issue further
The rehabilitation exercises in these programs will help build neuromuscular control and strengthen your hips and knees which can help reduce popping/crepitus and pain associated with it.
