A member asked:
Is it possible to increase height for a 17 year old male because there are documents that suggest it's possible. is there exercises that might help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If your growth plates are no longer open, growth is over. Typically by the time a boy is 17, the growth plates are near complete fusion. There are no height enhancing exercises. If a 17 year old boy has delayed puberty there may be some growth potential left as the biological age would be younger than 17.
