          Identifying what is causing the inflammation is one.
          The snapping is rubbing of the thickened plica over the round edge of the thighbone.
          Can you get access to a Marc Pro?
          If you are a runner you’ll want to have someone look at your running technique/mechanics.
          This may be the cause of the inflammation.
          Squat technique/mechanics and any skill with repetitive motions may be a contributing factor to the inflammation. The inflammation may be from a combination of movements. The cumulative effect of more than 1 impacting movement pattern.
          If you are using ibuprofen or ice stop. This shuts down what your body naturally does to heal.
          Check out the book ICED for more.
