A member asked:

Can i increase my height by doing stretching exercises after the age of 20?

It is possible...: It won't actually make you grow, but it can dramatically improve posture. Yoga or pilates has worked well for some.

I would love that :): Most men are done with vertical growth by about 20..Some may stop a bit earlier and some later, but my guess would be around 20. Unfortunately, we continue to grow sideway persistently into oldage. If stretching can increase height, i would be doing it every day. Keep healthy roxen--keeping an ideal body wt helps with the taller image vs being obese. Good luck.

No: Transient increases in length gained by stretching or hanging upside down or whatever are lost after a few minutes of standing.Gravity has its own definition of your height.
