A member asked:
Can doing neck stretches or exercise lead to a broken neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely unless : There is an underlying problem creating a weakness of the bone like parathyroid or thyroid issues, kidney issues, an underlying tumor in the bone, dietary issues or malabsorption problems to name a few. If otherwise healthy, there should be no issues with typical exercise routines.
