JoJo_Ma posed an interesting question in his introduction:
JoJo_Ma wrote:
What I find personally intriguing is the fact that you can train your joints to crack (most recently done with my elbows). How's that possible?

PJ posted an experience with a chiropractor after which new joints could be cracked.

If you look at the cause theory of Hypermobile Joints / Lax liagments it kinda makes sense that you can "learn" and "unlearn" crackable joints.

The only thing you need to do to instruct a new joint is to stretch the surrounding liagments bit for bit until you can bend / flex the joint far enough to crack it. If you do this often enough the joint will get hypermobile which will make it easier and easier to do follow-up pops.
Alas, the more often you do this, the more tensed up the affected liagments will get and hence the stronger your desire to crack your "new" joint again and again and again ad infinitum. Rolling Eyes

In closing I'd like to welcome JoJo_Ma to our friendly community / anonymous joint cracking support group!

At least for me, the first time a new finger or toe joint was cracked the sound was very muffled and sometimes associated with some discomfort. After repeated manipulations the characteristic cracking sound became audible and the sensation became enjoyable.

(There's probably a lesson of some sort within that experience.)

i def think one can train their joints to crack.

for example i remember attempting lots of different pulling and twisting motions to make my neck and back crack until i could get the 'crack!'.

now i guess it is a constant.

my brilliant crack training idea was me bending my knee, and yelling 'crack!', in the hopes it would listen and learn to do it itself.

it didn't.

but it clicks now when i bend it, because i bashed it on a door and it went all strange and out of place.

i'm a tad clumsy.

yep i def think u can train and learn how to crack ur joints.

i recall when i first learnt how to crack my neck, whereby to begin with there was nothing. but then i learnt when i woke up after sleeping that by pulling my neck from side to side i could get many pops!

after doing that for a while i was (and still able) to simply move my neck to crack it - which i think stems from the initial learnt response.

Yes i do think it is possible.

In films you always see people interlocking their fingers and pushing out, i used to do that and then after a while you are able to actually crack the fingers.
