I have found that the best way to crack my back is to put my palms on the top of my buttocks (so that the fingers are pointing down and the end of my palm is at my waist). Then I bend backwards. It is amazing! Everything pops - hips, lower back, upper back, everything. It's great.

I've found that a great way to crack your back, especially your lower back, into your hips is to lay on your stomach. Then, bring your left leg up - still on the floor, so that your knee is bent. This way, you will be laying kind of on your side, but mostly on your stomach. Then use your left hand to push on down on your buttocks while you try to pull the top portion of your body against it. Switch to the other side and repeat. It feels great.

I crack the following:

-Jaw
-Neck
-Upper Back
-Lower Back
-Hips
-Shoulders
-Elbows
-Wrists
-Fingers in 3 places each
-Thumbs in 3 places each
-Knees in 2 places
-Ankles
-Each toe in 2 places

My fav. would have to be my big toe. I can do it over and over again and it makes such a loud POP that I LOVE!

knee, then big toe, then shoulder, then ankle, then wrist

I will say that I have the same problem, but only in my knees. Especially when I first get up in the morning, but at various times during the day, it almost feels like my knee comes out of the socket and I have to pop it back in. I can't even walk on it when it gets that way until I twist just a little and there is a huge (definatley the loudest of all of my joints) crack and then I feel fine.

So, here's my question - I have found that most people who crack their joints are "bigger," that most small people find joint cracker to be more painful. So, here's the question? Of the people on here, would you say that you are under-weight, just the right weigth, slightly over-weight, or greatly over-weight.

Well, I couldn't vote either because the pol was closed, but I thought that I'd offer my insight. I am a huge cracker. Crack just about everything, although I can't manage those pesky hips. Anyway, I am also the biggest Republican that you could know - have spent my entire career employed by the Party. Just thought I'd add.
