Yellowspike - Dr. Guichet, Internal Femurs, Late 2014

Quote from: w1988 on March 27, 2015, 10:32:05 PMMy height is 169 now after I finished my last rolfing session this morning and measuring my height at the gym. If you ever look at the backs of football (soccer) players then you would see that they are straight as fk even when running or leaning, gaining maximum upper body height.

It feels slightly similar to chiro but less dramatic per session and my back is definitely straighter which explains the 1cm and that I don't have to 'remember' to straighten my back (maybe I was a few mm taller than 168 before but no way 169).

Maybe after you are 100% recovered you could go for it. After seeing your pics your back definitely looks fked, I'd be surprised if you didn't get a few mm after full rolfing, it could be your answer after trying everything else. If it doesn't work then at least it would have improved your general posture, even without the height I must say that I feel taller.

Yeah I will probably look into this. When I was doing LL in London, I met periodically with an osteopath at the isokinetic center. She even at one point said something to the effect of "whatever cm you may not gain from this surgery, I can probably get you an additional cm just from messing around with your back." Even Dr. G during my consolation briefly questioned whether or not my spine was straight, but he then ruled out scoliosis (thank God). So I'm wondering if maybe my spine, while I don't have scoliosis, could be improved somewhat.

Oh yeah after looking up Inversion I wanted to mention that I tried something very similar before and it didn't do jack crap apart from making we want to vomit. Actually I feel dizzy just looking at it. I'm watching a youtube video and everyone is like "my bf gained 2 inches", omfg that's hilarious looks like I don't need CLL ;/

Btw thanks for making your diary. I'm already feeling my heart beating faster the moment I emailed Dr. G, knowing that its going to start for me soon and diaries like yours give us confidence and will relieve any surprises. I think it'll be like making a movie off of a script.

Yeah I remember as a teenager I thought stretching would actually increase height. Oh, I was so gullible back then. Unfortunately, CLL is the only way to do it. Although I do believe that rolfing and glucosamine can help not to make you taller, but maximize your potential height (and help you retain it a bit longer throughout the day). That's kinda cool.

And yeah, my back is messed up right now. When I walk without crutches, I can feel how tight it is. Just gotta keep working at it!

Oh no thats not rolfing. You do rolfing over 10 sessions in like 2-4 months and it can last for several years.

Can you please explain what rofling is or send instructions on how to do it? Sounds kinda interesting

Nobody here listens to the Joe Rogan Experience? Joe rogan is the guy from fear factor, a famous comedian and now a UFC commentator (seriously nobody here has heard of him?!?!?) and does a podcast that talks about cool junk and often steers into physical improvement like sensory deprivation tanks, things you can get only overseas and he mentioned rolfing many times.

Look up rolfing on google, it's not an exercise haha.

I'm optimistic there will be some kind of supplement or whatever that'll give us another 1-2CM. I mean how fukking hard can it be?

Yea, it's called hgh, but seriously, it's very difficult after terminal height is reached.

Glucosamine is the only supplement that has ever been scientifically proven to increase height, and it was only by .4CM on average +/- .4CM standard deviation.

You can't easily tell the cartilage discs in the spine to "puff up". However, gluco's cartilage retention properties combined with inversion's spinal decompression properties.... you may have something there

I've heard of Joe Rogan. He did an interview with Stefan Molyneux a while back.

It's impossible, everything is already fused. If you look into real studies on HGH you'll find that it doesn't really do jack crap unless you're in some sort of recovery or still in a growth phase, they should have used a different name for it. Same goes for any kind of stretching/inversion, once you stretch then gravity will just squish it all back down. Also I don't think anyone here (apart from myself) has tried it because if you did then you'd know about how it makes you nauseated and doesn't even give you temporary height.

"Glucosamine is the only supplement that has ever been scientifically proven to increase height" what studies are you reading? When you see it for sale (at a store or reputable online retailer) it is never advertised for that because it doesn't do that at all. It's something that may help joint/arthritis issues. Glucosamine has NOT been 'proven' to increase height.

Ok do this, measure yourself when you are slouching your back and then measure yourself when you straighten your back hard pressed against a wall (maybe have someone press your chest) and check the difference. But then again Rolfing isn't advertised as something that will make you taller so it's dependent on the person, I've always had a curved back. The only problem is the guy mentioned annual 'top ups' so I'm not sure how long this effect will last, £750-£900/yr seems expensive.
