Discover How to Stretch and Increase Height Even After Puberty
Many short adults who are seeking to increase their height have questions whether it is possible to gain any height even after puberty. But rest assured it is possible! Because even if most of your bones are fused, a large portion like the spinal column is not.
The spinal column accounts for as much as 35 percent of your height. It consists of 33 separate bones, between which are cartilaginous discs that are stretchable. Special stretching exercises like inversion, floor exercises, yoga, etc. expand them and increase the length of the spine.
Explained here are 4 such stretching exercises that lengthen the spine and take it through its entire range of motion so that circulation and fluid content of the inter-vertebral discs increase, making you grow taller after puberty.
Backward Bend: Lie on your back, on the floor, with arms by the sides and palms pressing against the floor. Raise your feet up and over your head on the other side until they touch the floor above your head. Keep your knees straight. Hold for a few seconds, come back and repeat 3 times.
Spinal Forward Bend: Stand with feet together and arms straight up over your head. Bend forward at the hips at an exhale and touch your hands to the floor. While coming up, curl up one vertebra at a time to avoid injury. Repeat up to 5 times.
The Fish Pose: Lie down on your back with arms extended straight over your head resting on the floor. With all the weight on your arms and heels, raise all of the rest of your body off the floor. Stretch, hold the position for some seconds, relax. Repeat 5 times.
Shoulder Release on Chair: Sit straight on a chair with feet flat on the floor and arms resting on your thighs. Breathe in slowly and roll your shoulders up to the earlobes. Breathe out slowly and roll them down. Feel the stretch in your spine. Do 5 full circles. So these were four excellent stretching exercises on how to increase height.
Perform these stretching exercises with dedication, eat well, sleep well and also undertake vigorous aerobics like jogging or sprinting. You will grow quickly by up to 4 inches even close to middle age.
