I can crack/pop my ass/glutes . Well me tailbone, hips(?). It feels really good.
Tutorial.
I do so by squeezing my buttocks as hard as I can and trusting forward.
Effects.
It feels great but its become quite the habit. Neck crackers may now that terrible feeling of having a stiff neck and resisting the urge to crack it, but then once you'v cracked it, its like the best feeling ever. Its very similar here just the urge can be a lot greater.
And here's a very interesting paragraph someone wrote
TS, the sound you are hearing is most likely your iliotibial band (IT band) passing over the outcropping of your hip bone. It's very normal. Some people's IT bands are so flexible that they easily pass over the hip bone. You can eliminate it entirely by doing stretches and strengthening exercises. But, as soon as you stop your exercises, it will return. Exercises that come to mind are hydrants, the hip abductor/adductor machines at the gym, and a lot of thai kicks and stretching.
As for the analogy to the knuckles, no, that appears to be a different mechanism. Right now the most accepted theory on knuckle popping is nitrous gases escaping quickly through air pockets in the knuckle, and is generally considered harmless. Though I'm not a physician so take with a grain of salt.
Does anyone else agree with this mans conclusion ?
