A member asked:

Can using resistance bands affect your growth?

Dr. Lori Lange answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

No: Your growth is completed during puberty. As you enter middle age you may lose height due to spinal column shrinking. Working out with resistance bands may build muscle but will not change bone length.
