Yes and no: If you are young and healthy doing it every once in while probally will do little harm.Every once in a while, that’s okay, but doing it daily can cause the cartilage to wear out that lead to pain or possibly tendon and ligament tears. Instead do Gentle stretching and exercising being safer ways to relieve tension. As well as a warm shower can also help
