Is it possible to gain height even after puberty? The resounding answer is ?Yes?. You can add two, three, four or even more inches to your frame much after your bones have fused. How is it possible? It is because there are many parts in the body such as the spinal column that never fuse.
The vertebral column accounts for 35 percent of your height. It is made of 33 bones (vertebrae) out of which 24 are separate. 9 of the lowermost vertebrae are fused into two fixed bones. The 33 movable ones can be stretched out through exercise because the shock-absorbing material between them, the inter-vertebral discs, is expandable.
Given below are 4 of such stretching exercises that help you grow taller after puberty. They exercise the spine, maintain elasticity of the discs and make them turgid with spinal fluid along with boosting blood circulation in the whole spine.
Dog and Cat Pose: Get down on all fours. Inhale, lift your tailbone, lift your head, and curve the spine down. Stretch. Exhale, tilt your tailbone down, bend your head down, and curve the spine up. Keep alternating the dog and cat positions several times.
Spinal Twist on Chair: Sit straight on a chair with feet flat on the floor. Place the left ankle on the right knee. Let your hands hang by the sides. Breathe in and stretch your upper trunk over the left ankle. Take 10 deep breaths. Relax with each breath. Repeat with change in leg positions.
Lower Back Stretch on Chair: Sit straight on a chair with feet flat on the floor. Interlock your hands behind your lower back. Squeeze hands together, bend forward at the waist parallel to the floor and stretch. Raise your interlocked hands straight above your back. Take 10 long breaths. Relax.
