A member asked:
Can exercising and stretching help you grow taller in your teenage years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Certain types of stretching can make small (but very temporary) changes to measured height -but no it won't make you grow taller. Good posture may also improve perceived height. Exercise, stretching and good posture all good things even if they don't make you taller.
