Can stretching and hanging add more than 2 inches to your height?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Temporary height : Results from hanging & stretching are temporary. Streching is use often by military personnel if they are close to bubble during twice yearily weigh in's. However, increases are moderate. Having done measurements o others, i haven't seen any two inch increases.
