May appear taller: If growth plates fused, no. , stretching, exercising, supplements nor dietary modifications will cause you to grow taller. Your tanner staging (puberty), bone age, general health, hormones, parent height are factors that determine your adult height. Pilates improves your posture, and i've seen improved posture increase height by 1-3". Stand tall!
