Is It Possible To Grow Taller Even After Puberty?

One of the main questions people have about growing taller is whether it’s possible to grow taller even after puberty?

Yes, it is possible.

An average person, no matter what height he or she is, has the potential to be 2 - 4 inches taller, and often - even more! There are parts of the body such as the spinal discs that are never fused after puberty and can be safely stretched and expanded from the exercises in the “Grow Taller 4 Idiots” system.

Spinal Column

The Spinal column in your upper body contributes significantly to your height because it accounts for 35% of your total height. Your spinal column consists of 33 separate bone segments known as vertebrae held together by ligaments (tough and fibrous tissue). Out of these 33 vertebrae, only the lowest 9 are fused into two immovable bones. All of the other 24 vertebrae are permanently movable and can NEVER be fused.

One important component of the spine is the cartilaginous pads called intervertebra discs. These discs are located between each of these 33 vertebrae. They are pads of soft tissue that lie between the vertebrae. Its main function is to act as shock absorbers and provide separation between each vertebra.

On average, your total discs account for one-quarter the length of your vertebral column - 4.5 to 6 inches for most people. The thicker those discs, the longer your spinal column is and the taller you become.

Regular stretching and inversion can help increase your height by expanding the discs and lengthening your spine. The stretching exercises in the “Grow Taller 4 Idiots” system are designed to move the spine through its full range of motion so that blood circulation and fluid content of the discs are increased. Without regular exercise, the discs may lose its elasticity and become rigid, and hence will lead to height loss.

Therefore, even if you have passed your puberty, you can still grow taller permanently by following the Grow Taller 4 Idiots Exercise System.
