Cracking sternum?!


Question:

Cracking sternum?

You know how you can crack your knuckles? I can do the same with my sternum by stretching my torso into various positions. I haven't done any research on the topic and a couple friends have had it happen to them but can manipulate it like i can. Anyone know if this is something i should stop doing?

Sorry that should be "CAN'T manipulate it like i can."


Answers:

Yes, I do it sometimes without meaning to. I asked a Doctor once about this pratice. He did not recommend trying to pop the sternum area do to the ease of separating a rib by doing this.

GOOD LUCK!
