How can I get taller?

Question

I'm 5'6 ,turning 17

Answer 1

At 17 you can still grow a little. However, I would forget about being a professional basketball player...

Answer 2

I've been asking myself that same question for over 50 years. Still no answer. However, here is an interesting story that goes back many years. I met someone who wanted to join the police force which at the time had a height requirement. He was about two inches too short and told me that he was going for stretch treatments. Basically they would have him sit in a steam room/sauna for a while then give him a vigorous massage followed by laying on a table with straps all over his body that were attached to a device that would pull in opposite directions. He said it was like stretching wrack in the Renaissance period. I guess it worked because he made the force. Unfortunately after spending all that money the police department decided to drop the height requirement.

Answer 3

I was 5 foot 6 at 17 and am still 5 foot 6 at 20. It doesnt look good buddy. There are some non prescription drugs you can take that supposivly can work. I know one is called Heightmax. If you google it you'll find info. I never tried it, but you only got a couple bucks to lose if you still want to gain height.

Answer 4

There's books you can buy that give you stretches to do. Go to Amazon.com and there's a book called Growing Taller Secrets by Robert Grand. I don't know how well it works but it's worth a try.
