My daughter age 10 is competing level 7 and training approximately 20 hours a week. This is the first season where she wakes up in the morning and bends / manipulates her knees to pop them in the morning. She's not doing anything odd to make them crack.. but just bends pulls them toward her and extends them repeatedly until she gets a "cracking" relief. She says it's not painful, but I always tell her to stop doing it... because I consider it sort of like TMJ or knuckle cracking... if you do it over and over it will lead to soreness and irritation of the joints. (Arthritis down the line).
Should i be concerned? It's kinda becoming like a habit like knuckle cracking.
