A member asked:
Is a spine stretching program will help me to lenghten my spine 2 to 3 inches at age of 21 ? and can i still make my hands a little more taller at 21

No: No matter how you attempt it, by stretching, hanging upside down, having spinal manipulation or any other thing you could think of this will never work. There is this thing called gravity which effects us all with equal strength. Any temporary minor lengthening that would occur during the stretch disappears soon after you stand up.Once your bones stop growing (@18) your hands/length are final.
