Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Mar 24, 2008 Posts: 1034 Location: South-westerly I read this somewhere online, but was wondering what you guys thought?

As for stretching muscles reducing cavitation in joint capsules, its hard to see the connection, although I am not a doctor by any means.

Back to top bod8 Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2008 12:51 am    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Mar 24, 2008 Posts: 1034 Location: South-westerly Haha I know what you mean all too well Back to top metakine Posted: Wed Apr 09, 2008 1:24 am    Post subject: Jointcracker Joined: Apr 07, 2008 Posts: 11 I think that a moderate amount of cracking is okay. If your neck or spine or whatever cracks while you are doing stretches that say, a physical therapist would recommend, I'd say its unavoidable. One for the neck that I like is putting your palm against the side of your head and then pushing against it (with your head). Always good for a couple healthy cracks a day. i think you get into trouble when you start really wrenching things just to get that unattainable pop or release.

If you stretch your neck , slowly and calm , you are reducing your chance of straining you neck muscles. Be 'in your body' When you thrust your neck around to get cracks you may strain a muscle, but it would be Minor. Neck pain is part of life, because the neck is in such constant use, it is very common, cracker or not to experience neck pain from time to time. Chronic/constant neck pain is a condition. Usually associated w an injury. i believe stretching your neck is necessary and healthy, a tight or stiff neck is prone to injury or severe strain. like bruising, swelling and loss of mobilization. Mellow neck stretch , that may induce cracking: Take a long, slow ,deep breath in, on the exhale Bring L ear to L shoulder slowly bring the L hand on the top of the head, fingers close to R ear take another deep breath and on the exhale stretch further using the weight of your hand to GENTLY pull you further. Know your limit and stop in your comfort zone. Stay for a few breaths, and relax, then do the other side This is simple Lateral Flexion, the neck is designed to do this action/stretch. Much better than just whipping your neck around to get cracks.

Back to top Blaze Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 6:12 am    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Jul 15, 2007 Posts: 1463 Location: Sweden Well i referred (yes at 14 years old) a man to go to his GP with, i presumed hypermobility in his neck - and was right, to get neck excercises and he did and i was right, however the neck strengthening excercises, when i tried to do one, makes my neck do one of those small cracks. Said ^^^^ many a time lol _________________ Leaving on June 4th Back to top bod8 Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 10:39 pm    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Mar 24, 2008 Posts: 1034 Location: South-westerly you should become a doc, you've obviously got some talent there Back to top Blaze Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 11:31 pm    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Jul 15, 2007 Posts: 1463 Location: Sweden Nah, i learnt that on internet and MC just says that is wrong.
