Cracking joints is the act of moving joints in a special way to produce a sharp cracking or popping sound. Many people enjoy doing this but there is a risk of damaging joints if not done correctly.
The most practiced form of this occurs during a deliberate knuckle-cracking. We can also crack other joints like those between the back and the neck vertebrae, hip joints, wrists, elbows, shoulders, toes, ankles, knees, jaws, the Achilles tendon area and possibly any other joint in the body.
Things you will need: A good standing place with no evidence of a possible weapon, objects to hold if need be and the skill.
Choose solid ground with no evidence of weapon or hidden objects that might inflict injury. For instance, the place must be free from pointed objects, irons, hot water, exposed wires, and so forth.
Stand upright on your two legs, leaving a small gap between your legs.
Rise your two hands straight up and face forward
Bend forward so that your fingers touch your toes. This will stretch your back and may produce a sharp sound in the process.
Stand erect again and bend backwards. It may not be possible for your fingers to touch the ground without you falling down. So stop when you hear the sound or at your convenience.
Stand upright again. Rest for a while and bring your two hands down to your waist.
While still facing forward, rotate your upper body towards facing your back through your right hand without moving your hip. Stop when you hear a popping sound or just at your convenience and return your upper body to the initial position.
Repeat this process, but this time with your left hand.
Return to your original position and rotate your hip clockwise and then anti-clockwise.
