- Dr. Rowe shows how to fix ankle popping, snapping, and clicking sounds FOR GOOD.
As a bonus, all of these exercises can be done AT HOME and may help get rid of ankle click, pop, and crack sounds in as little as 30 SECONDS!
This video will be broken up into an EASY, effective step-by-step guide that's going to target the main causes of pop and crack sounds in (and around) the ankles.
In the FIRST part, we're going to tackle a huge culprit of snapping ankles, that is muscle tightness and irritation to muscle tendons. We're going to go over a simple and effective self massage that will help loosen everything up and get the ankles, Achilles tendon, and calves moving more smoothly.
The SECOND part is going to focus on a big instigator of ankle popping and clicks: lack of joint mobility. Easy stretching exercises are shown that will help improve ankle movement, and help with issues such as osteoarthritis and crepitus.
THIRD, we'll focus on fixing muscle imbalances and weakness (which may lead to pops and cracks) in and around the ankles with strengthening exercises.
WATCH now and get rid of ankle snapping and popping sounds for good!

walking across the living room in the middle of the night while my ankle poppin' like gunshots
This is pure gold. Oh my goodness, that spoon bit, I can't even express my gratitude.
Hope these exercises make a big difference for a long time to come, and thank you so much for watching!
I lived with this clicking for over 10 years and you helped me fix it in 10 minutes. UNBELIEVABLE! You are the best!
So glad you found this video and it's helping, and thanks for watching!
Was it a permanent fix or do you have to do the excercies regularly
@@notlemon8277 I will still get some clicking when I first wake up in the morning or if I've been standing for a whole shift. But all I have to do is rotate it up and down and roll it for about 1 minute and it completely disappears. So I would say YES this has been a lasting improvement. Before these exercises I could never get the clicking to go away.
@@notlemon8277 It is a "permanent" fix if you keep exercising it. All muscles will regress eventually (especially with age or injury), and exercise keeps them healthy and maintained
This is maybe my favorite video I have EVER seen on CZcams. Had cracking ankles for 5+ years, used to get made fun of for it in a quiet office! After going through these exercises once, no more popping. Really amazing results, can't believe it works so well in such a short amount of time. Thank you for this!
Glad you found the video, and I hope the exercises help you for a long time to come!
This has been my life for 15 years
Hope the exercises help, and thanks so much for watching!
Same here, whole life
Oh my god! I was literally about to leave the exact same comment. Mine has been 15 years. Years of torture 😫
Same here , whole life.
Evelyn did you also wake up everybody in your house with the popping sounds from your feet, when tiptoeing to the kitchen for a little water? 🤭
Reading through your comments its hilarious 😂 while i walk around listening to my clicks
I snapped a ligament 10+ years ago and it’s been clicking on and off this whole time but you’re telling me I could’ve rubbed a spoon on it and it’s good now?? Thank you magic man from the Internet
Excellent & Thanks again Dr. Rowe .
Let us know how these exercises work for you!
First you fixed my winged shoulder blade and now you’re fixing my popping ankle. So happy I found your channel!
I wil start trying the excercises and will update
You've been helping me out a ton, especially since the pandemic started. My lady calls you "Dr. Steal-ya-girl." I don't know what she's getting at, but thank you for what you do!

Phenomenal! My left ankle has popped on and off for my whole life. I stopped mid set of some weighted step up/step downs (because my ankle was popping more than usual) to see if CZcams had a fix and within 10 minutes of your video I was back at it with no pops.

Doc i appreciate people like you . When i was a teen my friend would not let me leave his apartment until i wrestled him and i rolled over my right ankle with all my weight
Hope these exercises help, and thanks so much for watching (we really appreciate it!).
Hi Doc! Thanks for this. Can’t wait to try it. My ankles have popped and clicked for the last 20years.
Do you have a video for Supination of the feet please?
I don't (yet), but thanks for the suggestion!
I never comment on posts unless it’s worth it, but thank you. This helped made running fun again…..
Glad it helped! Thanks so much for watching too.
The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you find something you love to do, be the best at doing it
Inspired. Thanks for watching!
What about the failure of breaking your ankle
Chill daddy
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for sharing this video to all of us, it helped me to release stress to my bones and feet.
Glad to hear that, and I hope the exercises help for a long time to come!
Wow the stick one is insane, it's like being able to feel parts of your body after the stretch that were so tight you couldn't feel them. Helps me to breathe better
Thank you very much this helped
Glad it helped, and thanks for watching!
My husband just tried it & it works ! Bless you !
Great to hear that! Thanks so much for watching too.
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for watching!
Excellent way to fix pain.....Thank you. Sir I have pain on my wrist and finger joints if I pick something heavy. I am very sure you have some effective exercises for this.🙏🙏
Check out: czcams.com/video/4cVKs53x7II/video.html
thankful for your calm, detailed explanations. Your tutorials are so helpful! May you share some tips on strengthening wrists and proper hand/finger placement?-- example: how should one align wrists and hands in Yoga cat/cow or downward dog position?
That's a great suggestion for a video!
Man you are great thanks ,it works that’s amazing
Glad it helped!
I did the knee one you put out. Amazing. I tested it out with one knee first and went about my work day, I unload 10 tons of product off a ramp with a two wheeler, and that knee felt great. The other knee still had pain. Did the other knee that night and went to work the next day. Worked miracles.
Thanks so much for watching, and I hope these exercises help for a long time to come!
Link?
Absolutely great....so much love and respect from india...i was so tenced...u resolved in just 2 min...thanku sir
Glad you're getting relief!
@@DrRowe sir but after some time it reoccurs...how to fix it...I am having ACL surgery in the same foot on 25 aug...I can't do rest of the stretchings....plz guide
Wow...! Straight up to practice! In October it will be a year after a torn ankle, and the doctor says that both the X-rays and the MRI shows nothing wrong, other that the connective tissues healing, so, she discharged me, but I still feel pain and gets swollen... I can't... ☹️
excellent
Thank you sooooooo much......
Thanks for watching!
Looks like it worth a try I had flat foot reconstruction on both feet and my right ankle clicks and pops, my question is how do you exercise your ankle in circles as demonstrated towards the end of the video if the big toe both joints are fused on my right foot without injury? I won't be able to start this until my big toe is fully healed, I will consult my podiatrist on when it's ok to do these exercises. This looks like it can work with no further Surgery I think my feet need a break.
I love this guy!
Thanks again for watching!
Thaaaaank you!!!!! your explanation is on point! Do you know how to fix the pinky finger-popping sound?

@@DrRowe would like to speak to you about the ankles stuff. Do you consult via zoom/facetime etc? And what are the charges... thanks!!!
I love your videos and have learned a lot by watching them. I have a problem of not being able to sit cross legged. My left knee is aways high. Almost as if my hip is not correctly in the socket. If you have time I would love to see a video on this. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
As in a high hip also?
Yes

I really appreciate this. The popping cracking noises in my right ankle are so irritating, makes it feel like the whole joint is out of line. Going to work on what you said in this video
Hope the exercise help, and please give us an update soon!
@@DrRowe I will thank you
@@mentalhealthme128 When do we get the update?
@@SupernovaMusic101 dont tell me he died
@@mordekai4182 Seriously, guess it was more than just joint pain...
OMG, i sprained my ankle a few months ago and none of the exercises i did to solve the popping sounds worked. I can't belive that that spoon thing actually worked! THANK YOU!
GREAT to hear the spoon method worked, and thanks for watching!
U helped me my foot won't stop making creaking noises
Glad the exercises are helping, and thanks for watching!
Omg thx for the tutorial
It helps me out with my cracking ankle for five years
I just can’t believe my ankle can be relieved again
Thanks a lot doctor ^^
Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for the video. Are these exercises safe for people who have knee pain?
I don't know really. I don't think so though.
Great video! I’m in the process of correcting my feet strike as I was lifting my feet before coming down (thus bad callouses on my big toes). I was wondering why only my left foot is cracking. I’m am going to try these exercises!
Hope the exercises help, and please give us an update soon!
Wow this worked great for me thank you thank you thank you. I play a lot of pickleball and not sure why my ankle and foot starting hurting. I think I was not warming up or stretching this area properly 😊
Glad the exercises are helping, and thanks for watching!
Another great video! Any thought(s) on why only one ankle would be cracking and popping?
Usually, soft tissue tightness (such as tendon snapping with movement) or crepitus. Thanks for watching, and let us know how the exercises work!
Thank you, this is great! Just what I needed.😊
Thank u sir..
Thanks so much for watching!
More ppl need to see this
Thanks for watching!
Should you do any of these if you have slight foot swelling and varicose veins in the ankle?
Thanks for making this! I wouldnt say this stopped my ankle from cracking but its def a nice stretch
Thanks so much for watching!
Hello, can you make a video about how to stretch our main body parts before working out in order to avoid future cracking sounds and get warmed up ?
Great suggestion! Here are some to check out for the back: czcams.com/video/44eYerscDWk/video.html
thx
Thanks for watching!
I love your channel and it has helped me. Thank you! You also kinda remind me of Tom Cruise.
I get that a lot... thanks for watching!
thank u ❤
Thanks so much for watching!
I just watched your neck pain video and oh my goodness I feel amazing. Left a comment there too. My right foot is a flat foot and it causes me pain in my foot, knee, and hip. Any tips or ideas for that? I’d love to hear it.
Thanks again for watching. I don't have any exercises out yet (specifically for a flat foot), but that's a great suggestion!
If you find a ROLFER, they can give you a massage to target your flat feet (check next injury therapy channel on youtube and check how they treat it)
@@jamilaissa6628 thank you so much. I’ll go check them out
Hi - thanks for the video, i tried all steps but it seems to have made it worse (now clicking every step even with shoes on), I've had a clicking ankle for 5 or 6 years though, not sure if this is something that needs to be repeated each day? but not sure i want to risk it.
Hi, a couple of years back i landed hard on my ankle while it was twisted. I never went to the doctors but it took around 3 weeks to heal but ever since then there has been clicking while rotating. I want to start running soon, do you think it could be anything serious that will cause problems down the line .
Thanks
I have metal in my ankle, can I do this as well what you recommend
Thinks doc
Thanks for watching!
I had this when I was a child thank you
Thanks so much for watching, and I hope the exercises help for a long time to come!
Could you make one of these bideos but for the wrists and toes please?
Check out: czcams.com/video/a-vJGH6ex_8/video.html
Would these exercises also help pain in my heal? Love your videos.
It might, here are some more exercises to check out: czcams.com/video/lznES5RxxcM/video.html (let us know how they go!)
@@DrRowe thanks for the reply. I tried that one last night didn't seem to relieve the pain. Will keep trying.
Hola, Thank you. 3 Months ago, some how my right ankle start bending towards inside,, I walk like 80 years old my body has no equilibrium. I have been recommended just yesterday to use a femula for a month. I am 63 and i play squash walk claim etc. Please would you have any recommendation, I appreciate very much
I have a Haglund's deformity and Achilles Insertional Tendonitis. A lot of the ankle exercises you suggest in the video that stretch the Achilles tendon cause more pain me more pain in that area (back of heel). Should I not be doing these given my particular Achilles issues? If these are not good for me, what else do you recommend? Thanks.
I’m hoping this works! I tore all the ligaments on my right ankle and it’s been swollen for the last 4 years.. the pain is excruciating. I’ll be sure to keep you updated! Thanks!
Please do!
@ José
How is your recovery ❤️🩹 🦶
And wow you’ve been dealing with this for a long time .
What do you do to get by on a daily activity.
@@leonidescastillo7177 it’s been going pretty well. The swelling has gone done substantially and I have more mobility. My balance however is not there.. I’ve been doing power plate which has helped me also. 10/10
Good to hear
I also have been struggling with ankle issues and I understand how much of an impact this injury can have .
I’ve been seen medicallly , ortho , orthopedic surgeon , pt and for specialist ,
Must admit not all are knowledgeable and definitely need training on bedside manner , but the best treatment had beeen self treatment from piecing together CZcams knowledge .
There’s is days ankle just gives and i no try to no longer panic , I just rest, stretch , massage and hope it works the next day !!
hey jose, try this first one out, it really helped for me
I recently suffered from an ankle sprain , I am not sure if it is a crack but I have had sounds pop out of my left ankle each time I try to move it , the doc suggested for an MRI . Will doing this xause any further damage to ne ankle ?
Would these exercises help with a popping sound that is accompanied by a lot of pain? It feels like my Talus is popping in and out of place or something but that area of my foot is in a lot of pain when it pops.
You are fantastic, your description and demonstrations are perfect.
My ankles crack/pop all the time. So, your video is perfect.
Thank you
Thank you, and I hope these exercises help for a long time to come!
Def gonna try these out! My ankles almost always pop when Im going down the stairs
Hope the exercises help, and please give us an update soon.
I did this amazing exercise and knew exactly where the cracking was coming from and which side is affected! However, I did as many repetitions as I could probably over 50 and the cracking is still there😢 is there hope? Will it ever stop? Hoping that you see my comment
King.
Thanks for watching!
I too have ankle popping in left leg i will try this . I hope it will help me
I am so glad I found this video! My son plays basketball and has rolled his ankles a few too many times, I can hear him clicking and popping all of the time. He says that there is no pain. I am going to keep having him do these exercises and hopefully the sounds will get better. Is this common in teenage athletes?
Well I do galeic football and martial arts and my ankles, knees and hips are always clicking but thats just me may be different in other teens
Happened to me and my brother. I do track and gotten it from moving over too fast in the lanes. He does basketball. We both to this and ankle mobility now to not let it happen again. Calf raises heel lift so forth
Do you reply? I’ve been having it since using a cross trainer/elliptical and now it won’t go away? I’m not sure why it’s happening because of the ellipital I have bad foot posture so the elliptical may be making it move unnaturally. Thoughts and can I do these exercises to help?
I have pain and cracking coming from the front right side of that bony protrusion in my right ankle, are these meant to help that?
First time in my LIFE my ankles don’t pop. Thanks man!
Wonderful, and I hope the exercises help for a long time to come!
Hi. I have a question. I currently have this problem, but I also have a similar problem of popping or snapping feeling and sounds that appear to originate from the tendons around the front of the upper thighs or hips. It's something that I usually notice when I lift a leg up high to step over something that's in my way where it typically snaps or cracks on the way down, but I can get it to snap all the time just by lying on my back and doing leg raises. Again, happens on the way down, but here when it's only about an inch or so off the floor (controlled descent only). Do you know if there a similar thing to your ankle exercises that can fix this or what is actually causing it? I originally got it, I think, from repetitively jumping high off of a beat board in gymnastics about a decade or so ago to the point of a noticeable sudden lack of strength in my legs. Like from a massive lactic acid build up or something. Coach at the time thought I just needed more cardio but I quit for good soon afterwards. Do you think this is from tendon tightness in this case, just like with the ankle, or do you think it's because of the tendons becoming too stretched or loose from that experience? I was putting an awful lot of force into it and my timing wasn't always perfect, meaning my feet probably weren't completely flat every time I hit the beat board - like my heels may have been slightly raised and contracted instead of relaxed, which probably caused my current ankle snapping problem, too. Thanks for your time.
