In this clip, UK-based physio & climber Andy McVittie explains why our bodies often adapt around limitations — and how to tell the difference between harmless noises and signs of a deeper issue.
We cover:
How the body finds “workarounds” for restricted mobility
Why side-to-side differences can be a useful early warning
When clicks and creaks are harmless — and when to get them checked
What “clunking hip syndrome” is, and why it can feel alarming
The simple rule: if it’s new, pay attention
💡 Key takeaway: Noises without pain are often fine — but new sensations or sounds usually mean something has changed. Don’t ignore them.
