In my late teens/early twenties I realized that I was capable of cracking my ribs. This at first was rare, but now I can pretty much do it at will. I practice yoga, so I am pretty flexible -- if I bend backwards with my arms outstreched over my head one or a few of the joints at my sternum (front/middle of my ribcage) will pop ever so slightly. Sometime, on a very rare occasion, just taking a dep breath, puffing out my ribs, has caused this too. Can anyone else do this? Oh, I just tried and it worked -- it was a small quite one. In any case, I think this is my favorite joint to crack since it seems so unique.

This is really a unique accomplishement. I certainly have never cracked any of my ribs. Neither on purpose nor on accident.

When cracking your ribs do you get any type of relief? Or is it just a sound? I do however have experience with cracking my chest, but it only happens once or twice a day when stretching. And when it does happen its not like the relief you get when popping your neck. Although sometimes it can get pretty loud. When popping my chest I usually sit up straight in a chair, (with no arms) then stretch my arms and shoulders behind me as if I were tring to touch my elbows together at my back.

That sounds come from your middle al low spine Back to top JointCracker Posted: Mon Apr 24, 2006 7:03 am    Post subject: Administrator Joined: Nov 23, 2005 Posts: 196 hp wrote: I think you're wrong, there are no joints in the ribs, neither synovial fluid . That sounds come from your middle al low spine Hmm, I just took a quick sweep on Google and found this: Quote: In general the chest should be pushed down 11/2-2 inches. Sometimes you may hear a cracking sound. Do not be alarmed. The sound is caused by cartilage or ribs cracking. Even if this occurs the damage is not serious. The risk of delaying CPR or not doing CPR is far greater than the risk of a broken rib. The other references I found to cracking ribs refered to broken ribs due to accidents.

I think you would do some unwanted damage so they are best left alone. Back to top jpad Posted: Thu Jan 24, 2008 7:13 am    Post subject: Elite Jointcracker Joined: Oct 30, 2007 Posts: 128 My sternum has cracked a few times. It's quiet, but it feels strange. I don't like it even though it's not painful.

That sounds a pretty dangerous thing to do. And just by breathing you can crack something? You must be exerting some force by maybe pushing out or something.

I'm only breathing as I normally do, it's not like I'm trying to breath hard enough to do it lol. It does feel good, too. _________________ Under construction Back to top Blaze Posted: Wed Jan 30, 2008 5:48 pm    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Jul 15, 2007 Posts: 1463 Location: Sweden AquaLiz wrote: No, my back cracks when I breath sometimes too.
