Answer:
A feeling of painless joint "popping" is not terribly worrisome and can be normal
for an individual. In major joints like the hip, knee or shoulder, an increase in
popping can be a sign of weakness in the surrounding musculature, and well-directed
strengthening could help stabilize and maintain the health of the joint.
If the "popping" is painful, or has a grinding element to it, that could signify loose tissue in the joint and should be evaluated by a physician.
