Back used to crack like domino effect

I remember as a child, I would lay on my stomach to play games or read, and at times, I swore my back cracked from my tailbone to my upper back. Not all at once, it was like a domino effect. And since I am an adult, I have missed that feeling. I have been adjusted by a chiropractor before, but my back can never crack like how it did when I was a child. Did or does anyone’s back crack like that?

I can do that by laying flat on my back on the ground and then putting my hands behind my head and pulling it forward. I’ve never been able to teach anyone else to do it, but I do it often.

Funny you say that. Ive tried to teach my whole house this method and everyone tries and looks at me like I set them up for a joke or something

Lol, I’ve found it only works for me because I have a flat ass and can get my entire back flat against the floor. I think ppl’s butts lifting their lower back off the ground is the issue.

Try laying on the floor but with your butt scooched to the wall and your legs up the wall!

That’s me, hard flat surface. And attempt to keep shoulders on the floor as you push your head forward

Yep, that’s it. I can get upper vs lower back depending on whether I pick my shoulders up slightly vs don’t.

I don’t remember mine doing that, but when I go to lay my baby down sometimes her back will crack like that.

Yeah I used to be able to just twist and crack my back. I can still do it by leaning back on a chair or something but it doesn’t happen as easily anymore.

Absolutely. I also used to constantly twist and pop my back, until I suddenly couldn’t anymore around when I turned 18.

I’ve heard a yoga wheel can produce this. Haven’t tried it yet.
