Can i gain height as adult with stretching?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Stretching or hanging on something will not increase height. You may notice a quarter inch more height if you use an inversion table, but this is short lived and has to do with how hydrated your vertebral discs are after inversion. There is no physical activity that can increase height once you are an adult. Hope that helps!
