Why is it that some people can pop their joints, while others can't?

Question

I can pop both of my wrists, shoulders, hands, ankles, knees, elbows, my back, my neck, and all of my fingers and toes repeatedly. No one in my family can. I don't understand why I can and they cannot.

Answer 1

they say it is from air in the joints, that makes them looser.

Answer 2

I bet you practice and do it a lot. lol It really is just the tendons poping over the bone in the joints and should not cause a problem for you while you are young but later on as you age it may. I wouldn't try to pop the joints if I were you . Once in a while won't hurt but doing it over and over can cause a problem. Ther is nothing wrong with any of you, some people are just good at it and others aren't, it can also be your tendona and ligaments are stretched and can pop over the joints while your families aren't.
