Maybe hgh can help and your spine grows.

Quote from: Ronin on March 31, 2019, 07:51:56 AMSorry 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.

If your spine is actually curved due to a condition (scoliosis, hyperlordosis, hyperkyphosis), then you can possibly gain a lot of height from correcting it.

Quote from: Ronin on March 31, 2019, 04:34:04 PMI 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.

I don't know if the micro-fractures thing is true in general or not, but I'm certain that article is BS.  They couldn't even get the conversion between US and metric measurements right.  If you check the cm measurements listed in the article, the author went from 5'3" to 5'5", not 5'2" to 5'4" like it says.

I'd like to remedy it by myself through exercises if possible, I've seen some on youtube but not sure what actually works.

I do find it kinda hard to believe, if it was that easy to grow that much it should be a lot more widespread, but still maybe there's some truth to it.

There's another thing, apparently riding the bike with the seat raised as much as possible can lead to leg lengthening:

Got a renewed interest, been searching and found this thing.
https://www.quora.com/Is-there-a-way-to-re-open-our-growth-plates-after-adulthood-to-enable-height-growth
"I have been researching about fused bones since past few years.

I've never tried but have come up with this strategy. Please try this on your own risk.

For this method you need to wear 1kg ankle weights in both legs for whole day and during any time of the day you should perform sprints. Run straight 30 yards, take rest for 30 seconds and run back from where you started. Repeat this for 3–4 times. Later take rest for 2 day and repeat this method again for a month or two. Gradually increase weight after 10–15 days.

What this will do is create some micro fracture in your leg joints and these micro fracture will get repaired with naturally releasing HGH (Human Growth Hormone) in your body, giving you few more centimetres in your legs.

For natural HGH release make sure that:

    You take enough deep sleep of at least 7–8 hours.
    Stay hydrated by drinking 3–4 litres of water everyday.
    Have a healthy high protein diet. Stay away from unhealthy foods.
    Do few stretching and own body weight exercises.
    Try to stay stress free.
    Keep pressing your thumbs and toes as it will trigger the pituitary gland to release HGH.

The another method I've come up with is hanging upside down with weights.

As you know that astronauts grow 1–2 inches in space due to no gravity which causes their backbone to get decompressed.

This method will not reopen your growth plates but can help you to gain couple of inches.

Frist learn to hang upside down for 1–2 minutes. When you master hanging upside down take light weight in your hands and practice hanging with it. This will help you to decompress your spine giving you a couple of inches.

However, this gain will not be permanent , when you stop performing this exercise for few days you might get back to normal. So try to perform this exercise regularly for a year and let the HGH release in your body to make this permanent.

Pro tip: Visualise yourself everyday for 20–30mins as you're already as tall as you've desired to be. Close your eyes and imagine the tall you waking around and talking with your tallest friends looking straight into their eyes. Doing this will make your subconscious mind to give you the desired result even faster."


Regarding that actual question, do you think it's possible for growth plates to be surgically reopened (and reclosed once enough height is gained)?
Also do you have any experience with finger lengthening? I found various exercises. Regarding arm lengthening I think shadow boxing would be good.

Apparently that would lead to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acromegaly
"Acromegaly is a disorder that results from excess growth hormone (GH) after the growth plates have closed.[3] The initial symptom is typically enlargement of the hands and feet.[3] There may also be enlargement of the forehead, jaw, and nose.[3] Other symptoms may include joint pain, thicker skin, deepening of the voice, headaches, and problems with vision.[3] Complications of the disease may include type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, and high blood pressure.[3]"

It's not possible! Ll is the only way

Of course, I know it's not currently possible, meant if some day it may become available.

Speaking of things that may one day become possible, I don't quite understand these pituitary gland tumors, could they be the answer to the height problem? I mean what if our children could have something like that induced under surgery? I know, brain surgery is a very radical option but the results would be radical as well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Valuev
"Although his own parents are short—both 1.67 m (5.5 ft) tall—his Tatar great-grandfather has been described as "of mountainous proportions" and "a warrior giant of Russian folklore." His own size and appearance are due to gigantism complicated by acromegaly."

"It’s genetics. Nobody can be insured. I had a small tumor of the pituitary gland. The operation had to be done twice," Valuev explained to interviewer Sofiko Shevardnadze.
