Your so funny… it is a great tension release... I don't know about Swedes, but a massuse once told me that americans hold all their tension in their hips, personally I think it is more twords the back side... :twisted:

No pain, more of a "is that suppossed to move? can I do that again?!" Im not sure if men can do that one, it started after I had my first kiddo…

oops, sorry I ment x-ray wont show ligamint damage…. it would show joint damage :oops:

A friends shoulder dislocated like that all the time, and he had to have surgery to repair the ligaments in his shoulder joint. I would push for an MRI an x-ray wont show muscle or joint damage.

Sometimes it I can't get my neck to crack I will put some Icy hot on it , let that work for a while and pop or take a hot shower,I think I get my best neck cracks in the shower.

oh and walking without shoes or with flip flops results in an ankle crack with each step…

Wow, I can't believe there are so many out there like me!
I remember my first crack, I must have been a pre-teen, my dad came home from the chiro, and gave me a big hug which cracked my whole upper back. There was no turning back… now it is obsessive I think the only thing that doesn't crack readily is my left thumb and sturnum, and I have never cracked my nose.
Currently my favorite crack is sitting on the floor hold your knees to your chest and rock back onto your sit bones, I usually get a few cracks out of my SI joint (tailbone/pelvis joint) that way. I am sure this isn't good, but it sure feels like it.

Ahhh… the hip, I can get 2-3 out of each side.
1st stand on r. leg lean to r., then rotate forward and then back
switch sides
How can you limit cracks... they just kinda happen...
