A member asked:

Can tingling stimulation caused by long periods of rubbing stocking-clad legs cause over abundance of growth hormone in body & add height even @ 40yo?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: No,, growth hormone production isn't stimulated in this way. No method to increase height in person at age 40.
