I'm not talking about "if you step on a crack, you'll break your mothers back."

How do you crack your back? If you know what I mean... Like people crack their fingers.
 
:sl:

Sit on a chair,turn around,placing both your hands on the chair..
 
Jump from the second story of any building (of course you only get to crack it one time using this approach).
 
Rashad, don't make such painful topics! :nervous:

I once saw an entire thread debate on cracking backs, fingers, necks, etc. apparently those who do it regularly claim they have pain if they do not do it. Yet those who never do it (and are not able to), such as myself, have extreme pain if it does happen. *shrug* Just hearing the popping is painful to me. I could never marry a man who cracks his joints. LOL

I am a non-cracker and couldn't if I tried. Yanal's chair suggestion would not work for me. LOL I do spinal twists and things like that in Yoga all the time and have never popped my back.

Funny. That's what Tyrion suggested. I do it on the ground, cross legged. But I need something more effective.

Next time you babysit, just make the kids jump on your back... If you survive, I'm sure you'll feel great.

Actually, as shocking as it may be, I'm looking for a risk-free method.
 
loq @dagless

get a halal massage rashad. theyve got these cool massage chairs at john lewis that you can "try b4 u buy" kinda thing. youll finish up feeling a bit violated, but relaxed

Try the chair method,insha'Allaah. Any specific reason that you are attempting this? Or just to see how it feels?

:wa:

I guess that means you wont try my suggestion of falling out of a tall tree.
 
Is this the same thing as I've seen some people do, they 'stretch' to 'fix' their back?
 
I crack my bones, or rather, joints, all the time.
It feels real good after that, they say the "cracking sound" is produced when the gas/air between joints is released.
 
Sit on you legs(the type you sit down during salaah). Place you hands in front of the respective legs. Bend to your right. with for some time, then Give it a Jolt... should work.. repeat the same for left.

When i was little my teacher used to tell me how cracking your bones isnt good for you, it isnt good as you grow older those bones will start to hurt real bad :-\

Maybe a doctor can answer this Q if i havent said it right InshaAllaah
 
Hmm.. so many interesting comments. Since I am learning about the spine, I have to ask my anatomy lecturer about cracking ones back. It'll be interesting to know what he thinks. =D
