: Certainly, if your movements were violent enough that you caused a musculoskeletal injury, it could damage your body. Unless you were advised to do this by a knowledgeable Trainer , I would not recommend this kind of activity. If you have persistent pain or other problems, see your primary care doctor. Good luck.
