How to Crack Your Knuckles Easily

Cracking the knuckles of your hand is a common habit for many people. While some feel it releases tension in their hands, others do it to relieve stress and use those releasing cracking noises to help them calm down. Tension aside, whatever reason you have for cracking your knuckles, it can be easily done.

Instructions

• 1

  Close your right hand into a fist -- with the thumb out. If you tuck the thumb in, this will prevent the needed space for pressure to crack the knuckles of your right hand.

• 2

  Apply the base of the palm of your left hand to the tops of the middle knuckles on your balled up fingers of your right hand.

• 3

  Press down on the knuckles with your left hand and you should hear a cracking noise. If you feel some of your knuckles didn't crack, you can also use the thumb of your right hand -- and press it down on that specific knuckle to pop it. Repeat these steps using your right hand to pop the knuckles of your left hand, while it is balled into a fist.
