A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reality: Final expected genetic height for women is the average of both parents less 5 cm +/-. Most women continue to grow until 2-3 yrs after 1st menses when the hormones controlling both have their final effect on height. An x-ray of your wrist/hand can be assessed for open growth centers. If closed you are done. Exercise/stretching will not change your final height.
