Could doing neck stretches or exercises break your neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: It is generally good for your neck to stretching and exercises. The only way it could be a danger is if you have some rare pre-existing condition such as a collagen disorder or loss of bone density (rare in a 30 year old).
