If I stretch a lot during the day, will that make room for me to grow for my growth plates?

Question

I was wondering if I were to stretch a lot during the day and night how long would I have to do it. And even if I didnt grow, how long should I stretch ?AND what type of stretches would I do? IF it did work what do I do to make room in my growth plates? (What kind of stretches and how long?)

For instance, ballet dancers, many are tall, is that due to stretching, many of them have been taking ballet since they were small.

Answer 1

increasing flexibility will help with posture but will have no effect on increasing the height beyond the natural genetic potential

Answer 2

A person is still growing until 25. If you are stretching daily you will grow taller. Any form of stretching will do. If you wanted to grow taller do it twice a day, in the morning and before retiring at night at 1 hour per session. Yes, most ballet dancers are tall because they are fond of stretching.

Answer 3

Growth plates are deep in the bones. Stretching won't make a difference. Maybe doing bone-bearing exercise, like running or gymnastics, will help tell your bones to get to work.

Answer 4

That is so funny! My goodness if that actually worked I would
be like six feet tall! I tried everything when I was a teenager, believe me you name it I tried it! But alas when I finished growning I turned out to be only five feet one inch tall! You can't make yourself grow, everyone just grows as tall as they are supposed to be and thats it!

Answer 5

no it will not help your growth at all...
the British had a good tool for growing people it was called the rack...

Good luck with that
