If you are older than 18 chances are your done with puberty. Once the human body is finished going through puberty your body physically will not grow any more. BUT! You can do certain stretches still if you are older which will fix your posture and you could go from 5.5 to 5.7 or 5.10 to 6. If your older just try to fix your posture by stretching it will make you 1-3 inches taller maybe more depending how bad your posture is and how much better it gets.

Hi all,
Being short is no easy task, people are constantly reminding you how short you are as if you dont already know lol. I am 25 years old and 5’1, this kinda sucks but my obsession with height only started about a year ago. I didnt even realize how short I was until everyone started pointing it out. Truthfully I am trying to just get over it, because I dont believe there is anything I can do. Email me at scanelo420@yahoo.com for some height support.

Thanks!

A little less than a year ago I was 5’8″ and 16 years old. I’ve been doing the last 2 stretching exercises before went to sleep each night (once or twice for each exercise) on and off for a while, then sleeping on my back without a pillow, and now I’m 17 and 5’9″. I’m gonna keep doing the exercises more regularly now – I hope to get to 5’11″ or 6′ I think it’s possible if you’re persistent.

guys, i think wat u guys should do is join like a basketball team or even just play it as a hobby or something, trust me it seriously works. other than that follow these simple rules i have gathered for you, and im only like 15, any way, get out a pen and paper and FOLLLOW THESE RULES!! >.<

- eat foods that have less sugars and fats, but more vitamins, minerals and calories an so on.

-do stretches that ease tension in your spine (this will loosen your spine and let more cartilage grow wich make you grow), but also do other strtches for your legs and arms and neck.

- drink 2 glasses of FULL CREAM milk, and a slice of cheese

-do lots of sprints and joggs

- get plenty of sleep (approximately 8-10 hours)

- do donky kicks- get on all fours then slowly raise one of your legs until it is level with the rest of your body, do this 20 times on 1 leg then switch to the other leg ATTENTION GIRLS!!

hey everyone,

these exercises are great as i tried them with my patients. persons below age 18 can benefit more. persons above 18 will get minimal increase which is actually resulting from corrected posture after exercising. middle age and older person should keep doing these exercises plus others to preserve their bone stock and avoid osteoporosis and height loss which results from vertebral collapse and compression. good luck

I have a more complicated curve ball question here which is a tad more different than begging for help. I would love an answer if you know it! When i was 18 was around 5′11 and perfectly content with that.
But due to malnutrition from having a Whipple procedure and then 2/3 of my lower intestine got blocked at age 25 and had to be removed so i’m lucky to absorb 1/2 the proteins i eat. I have kept getting shorter and and am still getting lighter since then. Is there anything i can do to get my height back to normal? I know the weight problems are a GI’s issue. That’s why i only mean to talk about the height as i’ve lost 3-4 inches.

Will the eating, swimming, stretching, etc still work for me as well? I’m 31 and bought an inversion table to hang upside down from, it always makes my back feel stretched out but I’m not positive it works. Any advice would make more than my day if you could possibly answer me?
