A member asked:
Get good tingling sensation from head to toe when skin rubbed/massaged. is it true that stimulates excess growth hormone causing adults to grow taller
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: No one with closed epiphyses of the long bones can grow taller with growth hormone--the bones just grow thicker. There exists no scientific evidence that massage helps children or adolescents with short stature to grow faster--they need injections of growth hormone by a pediatric endocrinologist.
