        I wish i could stop cracking my neck intentionally. I don't really feel a tug unless i put my neck into certain positions or move it in a certain way.

          JC: The treatment on trial Strengthening joint liagments suggests simply not cracking a joint for an unspecified period of time should rebuild the joint liagments slowly thus removing the unnatural hypermobility and joint flexibility which are needed to crack any given joint.

          Rebuild the joints ligaments? Unnatural Hypermobility?
          Your saying: be less mobile w the joint so the ligament becomes LESS flexible and more stiff.
          That would seem counter productive and a recipe for injury:

          when a stiff or tight ligament is pushed past its normal ROM it will sprain and inflame and Hurt.

          Increased ROM/mobility is a good thing.

          Hyperflexability is a good thing
          Joints can be hyperflexible and strong
          STRONGER even
          Not mobilizing joints will make them weak and tight and injury prone.

          Example of hypermobility and strengh:

                Or practicing could be referring to a constant activity that you partake in.

                    Urm….think so.

                    Practice - as in you do something.
                    Practise - isn't that like a surgery?

                              @Mhillqt:

                              I have cracked my neck for years by just simply turning my neck(without force) in a forceful way…..a few years ago , I use to twist and get multiple deep cracks all at once....now I cant crack it anymore....why would that be?

                              lack of "practice"?

                                  The video is indeed interesting. However, I do not agree this level of hypermobility is healthy.

                                  I did not mean that you should aim for stiff joints, which is clearly unhealthy, too. "Hypermobility" by its very name implies the mobility is "above" normal. I would thus personally aim for "normal" mobility.
                                  Last time I checked hypermobile joints are not healthy, also see What Are Hypermobile Joints?
