Where can I find out ways to crack my back by myself?

Answer 1

My chiropractor told me that he would never try to do it on himself - too dangerous! And he's a trained professional.

Answer 2

Here's what you need to do:
1. Sit on the floor, but don't' lie down, sit w/ your legs in front of you.

2. Put your right leg over your left with your foot flat. (your right knee should beat about cheek level.)

3. Take your left elbow and put it against your right knee and push your body to the right.

4.Turn until you're almost facing backward, but your abs and legs are still facing fore ward.

5. This should crack your back.

6. Repeat all the steps only the other way.

Answer 3

Cracking neck: Warm up your muscles by making tucking your chin circles with your head in both directions, first clockwise, then counter clockwise. Turn head to right side, point chin up as if you're being snooty. .Put left hand on back of head near the top of the skull, put right palm on chin. Using a fairly quick motion, twist your head. Don't do it too hard, you may cause a sprain. Put your hands the opposite way for the other side of the neck. Massage the front corners of the neck near the collar bone in front to loosen up the muscles.

Back; A back is loosened up by stretching. The muscles are strained and full of clogged blood in the tissue; it needs to be worked over.

1. Lie on floor, face up, physically push the heels of your feet straight out and pull your toes to your knees. Hold for a minute.

Have someone massage the arch of your foot while you lie on the floor, face up. This will release tension running from your neck, down your back, across your butt and down each leg. Point your toes toward your knees, gently , while this is done.

2. Situp with legs bent at the knee in front of you. Put your right elbow on the left side of your left knee. Support yourself with your other arm. Twist to the left. Do the reverse for the other side. Hold stretches for one minute.

3. Put your arm behind your head and pull on your elbow with the other arm. Hold for a minute, then do the other side.

4. Have a person of about 100 pounds literally walk on your back, with each foot along each side of the spine. They should take small steps. This sometimes realigns the vertebrae. If they are heavier, have them use two chairs, the backs facing your sides, to support their weight.

5. The majority of back problems are due to weak abdominal muscles (for posture) and weak back muscles between the shoulder blades. Try not to "hunch" as you sit at your work desk, at the table when you eat, and in your car. Focus on pushing your shoulders back and holding them there. Work out and strengthen abs and back too, these for three weeks, see if that helps. To get rid of abd. fat, walk 30 minutes every 3 days for about 2 to 3 miles.

Good luck.

I bought what was called a Ma Roller one time. It opened up the spine. It was not pleasant but worked.
