Client's KNEES CLANKING during SQUATS

[gizzle]

I have my client doing shoulder width squats and for some reason, I hear alot of weird sounds emanating from her knees as she goes up and down. So I had her try taking a wider stance, and I always tell her to keep her knees pointed outward along with her toes, and to never wobble her knees. Her form seems to be decent, but still I hear those sounds! What could she be possibly doing wrong?? I mean I don't want to injure the poor lady...Any suggestions??

i'd suggest you stop having her make her knees clank when you dont know what is wrong with her.

sounds like she has some sort of instability of her abductors/adductors. She has no strenght on her inner and outter thighs to prevent that side to side movement which is causing her knees to clank.
