Genetics would play a more important role in your height BUT stretching will make you aware of posture and make you feel good. Being in good posture will give you your maximum height.

Hi well i think it depends on what age you’re in. If you are in your teenage era you still has the chance but if you are an adult i don’t know .. you see I’m not a expert here... i just used it and i felt good about it

I really don’t think so. It doesn’t work like that. It is basically stretching of muscles which have become contracted due to being in a similar position for a very long time. This helps release the contractures and increases blood supply to those muscles which increases its nutrition and reduces fatigue by washing away metabolises.

No, probably not! But the correct posture can not only increase your height, but also make you look like you’ve lost weight! Keep stretching, keep exercising and keep a close eye on your posture!

Yes, If your age is less than 18, it will definitely work. If not, then also it might work if your joints are not streched yet.

Yes and no. It will help most adults stand and appear taller but not book physically grow more ; it may help you physical grown more if you stretch everyday while growing as a child.

I think it can help improve posture which might help you stand a little taller, but I don’t think it will make you taller.

Yes I am 5'11 and I strongly suggest stretching for increasing your height. You can also try yoga for increasing your height like the cat and cow pose

I don’t think so but for sure it can make you feel like it. Although it possibly can lengthen the spine so who knows but as I said i don’t think so

Your no way can be relaxed enough that your spine can release some of its compression to which you will see significant growth mostly in the morning before "the weight of the day" sets in on your spine. If done long and properly enough you can keep the compression at a minimal and strengthen the spine to stay long.
