Does anyone know about it or have any experience with it?
I found https://growtallerwithshinlengthening.com/legstretching.html
I've actually done these a lot over the previous summer, building endurance:
1. Sprinting, Jogging and Walking
3. Swimming
4. Cycling
Talks about stationary bikes, but actual cycling should do.
Can be easily done:
5. Jumping and Skipping Rope
The latter seems optional.
That leaves:
2. Kicking
I'd like to learn and practice kicks but I don't know where to start and how long it would take to acquire leg mobility.
6. Inversion Table/Hanging
Doesn't look too appealing, I don't know if I can find one to buy and in any case I don't have space for it. He mentions "If you don’t have an inversion table you can substitute it by fastening your ankles on a hanging strap and then hang upside down." Yeah, I'm definitely not doing that.
7. Using Ankle Weights
I like the idea, but they might feel awkward and looking at https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/8185ZEvXt5L._SX679_.jpg it would be embarrassing to be seen wearing them.
Sorry if I'm going off-topic, but I have a curved spine from bad posture, which I learned to avoid, and I'm wondering if there's a way to remedy it.
It's nonsense.If it were true then those who are going for LL are simply pure idiots.
Please keep in mind Once the growth ceases the only way to grow is surgery.
Well, I know it would take a miracle for gains achievable by surgery, but if I could grow even 1cm or 2cm through means that would be otherwise beneficial for health, strength, mobility, etc. I would go for it. Perhaps natural lengthening wasn't studied because it only results in small gains that aren't very noticeable. I'm 1,70, right at the "borderline".

Supposedly you can gain a cm or so through some of what you have posted but the growth is not permanent and to maintain it you have to probably exercises quite frequently.

This guy talks about micro-fractures in the bones which would lead to growth in the healing process, so it would be permanent assuming it's true.
I found https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2240087/Impossible-No-But-definitely-bit-stretch-How-5ft-2in-writer-gained-inches-height.html just now, there's talk about micro-fractures there too. Thing is the writer apparently grew from 5ft 2in to 5ft 4in without much time and effort invested while the trainer and inventor of the program grew from 5ft 7in to 5ft 9in, just the same, even lower percentage-wise. So it would seem that would be the limit.

Do you know about LSJL？I think thats far more believable than so-called "micro-fracture".

No. I found this guide: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3367971&d=1305925489 Judging by the photos on the linked blog it doesn't seem like such a good idea.
I am no doctors but I don’t think micro-fractures will help with bone growth as the fractures will just be around the sides of the bones. Which will just be repaired with time
I have only heard that micro-fractures could strenghten the bone over time.
I suppose that's where ankle weights and hanging upside down from your ankles come in. I'm definitely not doing the hanging part.
