Did the 10 rolfing session, went to a chiropractor for 1 session to work on my uneven legs, and did a Thai massage. Result made me "grow" 1/2 an inch. Now I need to a stretching routine which should give me another inch. There's also homeopathy which I'll try but might not get results. But it involves Baryta (sic) carb and silica. Someone has a blog about using this stuff to make you grow.

Ed, you did yoga which made you grow an inch. How long did it take you?

May I ask how much did the rolfing sessions cost you? Also what's special about the Thai massage?

I cannot speak for Ed but if I recall vaguely he grew about 3cm with very hard work, people should take example from him.

It's expensive. I had to wait a year or two to get it done. Cost me about $1200 but it ranges. You can go for $900-1500 for the 10 session. But I knew I would get a half inch with it and some other work.

The Thai Massage was going to be a substitute for actually stretching because I'm lazy, but there aren't any good Thai people out here, plus it's expensive. So I'm going to just do a stretching routine as I remember reading a couple years back a guy grew 1.5 inches with rolfing and yoga. So I figure once I get my stretching routine done I'll be 5'11 (from 5'9).

I did some yoga-exercises, forward bending,the Cobra, the Plough in combination with hanging from a bar, while doing that(hanging) i try to touch the floor using some force, after that i always had a good (stretch) feeling in my back, but be carefull, don't overdo it. It is possible you are damaging the ligaments in the spinal column, so listen to your body. I did these exercises for a period of eight month's, i still practice yoga and hanging just for my health and to feel a good stretch in my back but not so much as i used to.

My HI also had to do (i quess) with posture improvement, that goes for most ppl, Yoga exercises mostly tend to correct one's posture which leads to HI. Try to perform a Yoga-posture for at least three minutes.

I also practice deadlifting and squatting (not too heavy) but it has no negative impact on my height, so those exercises doesn't make you any shorter, at least not in my case. so SD2002, i hope i answered your question.


Hello l0ck n l0ad, also still on this forum?, that was a long time ago.

It's been a while sd....

If I'm not mistaken...you said that rolfing is supposed to be permanet unless you had like a serious accident right?

Stretching works...this I know for sure. The only thing is, you have to keep stretching or at least holding your posture to keep all the height.

 The every vanishing lock and load...I had no idea you were still around dude. I'm sure I still have your e-mail address...are you still online pretty often?

I know this is an extremely late reply. I'm just working as a security guard right now at the mall and by the end of this month I'll lose my job because they fire the all the employees after 9 months so they won't get a 'work tenure' because if an employee has 1year+ and they fire him afterwards he can sue get and get a bit of money. Although they recruit them back after a period of 3 months if they wish to.

I actually do spend quit a fair bit of my fair time on the computer, but it's only in a blue moon that the urge to surf these height forums comes back to me. After all it's already been around 9 years ago when I first hit Utah's board.

On a site note just as an overall height observation, working as a guard at the mall I see sh*tloads of people passing by me everyday. I'm 188cm barefoot and about 191~191.5cm with my work steel toe shoes. I see a very common range of 170~180cm for the youngsters. For the older guys it's not rare for them to be under 170cm. It's not that often I see people taller than me although I do see some people that are same height as me or are very close in height. Funny thing is my best friend at work is only 164cm and probably one of the most secure/confident guys I've ever seen regarding hitting all on the young girls we meet at work or beating up anyone that gives us some attitude. And not even once I heard him say 'I wish I was taller' or 'I wish I had your height'.

I must say that myself playing yoyo with my weight I've really screwed up my back (especially lower back). I was a mere 72kg at 18 on my army draft, and in my early 20's already managed to reach a whooping 130kg with a max weight of 136kg(300lbs). My lower back has literally been crippled with years of overweight baggage, just standing next to the sink trying to do the dishes for a couple of minutes would have me arching forward because it felt so tight and painful on the lower back I couldn't stand straight. I'm now around 100kg and my back feels much better than before but still not that good overall so I recon I still need to drop more weight for the back's health. I tried hanging like Ed recommended me and the stretch it gives feels orgasmic although I think my weight is still hindering me from doing stretches and hanging. Well enough ranting for now...

By the way this forum just feels primitive, it holds a lot of great information but where's the search button and where's the stickies... Obviously at the this board was made these message board features was probably not available, but really network54 should innovate a little. I guess that's why lots of new comers have a hard they need to browse page by page looking for info.

I'm very glad to see Joey, Ed, Megabone and all the other old members are still here and well it's been quite a while

I might be even more surprised that YOU are still alive.

You know in the beginning, there was only the original forum 2 other scam forums. So then when Utah deleted the original forum...the only one ppl had to go to were scam forums. So then I would go to the bonesgrowth, growthbooster forums and then 'Bigfoot's forum(it always surprises me I remember all this meaningless stuff) and write messages on their forums like 'I just gained 2 inches with b-growth....email me for more details" and then I'd give them the link to this forum.

 Then regulars would come here and post their messages and link to their new forums. Then from there...like  20 other HI forums started.So that was how the whole HI forum thing got started again...ironic that I'd pretty much abandon this place and let it go to S###  isn't it?

So yeah, I kinda dropped the ball. Anyways...nice to see you guys back.

 

Funny bro, you're really that suprised I'm still alive, you cracked me up Maybe with all the wars in Israel I guess I'm lucky no harm has been done to me or any relatives...

I'm trying to trace back the original forum I started at... I'm 25 now and I think the first time I ever searched for height stuff on the internet was at 16, right after I discovered I only grew 1cm in 12 months between 15 to 16 and freaked out. So yeah I think Utah was the first forum I landed on? Then pretty much anything outside Utah's was utter crap trying to mislead people buying all these useless shoes insoles and supplements and what not...
Although it seems like Utah's forum had more success stories with hardcore people (such as yourself) who used to follow their stretch exercises/routines religiously, then do basketball/running/swimming, and invert as well and take some supplements along, these are the kind of people who usually came back after a few months saying 'I grew half an inch', which seemed not too far fetched.

That trick "I just gained 2 inches with b-growth....email me for more details" is hilarious, glad it worked. Just shows how desprate people were, always trying to keep an eye out to the next magic HI formula. On the same note, what happened with Rahul eventually? I still got some the white powder crap in those little packets scaretted in my drawer from years ago.

I noticed this forum has really become dead compare to what it was say just a year ago. I recon it needs some pimping up with the interface and features. Not having stickies and search is a major lack for now days and if network54 won't add these we need to see if it's possible to move the entire forum a better hosting site, because starting over from scratch just for a better hosting site would be almost redundant.

Seems like you're busy in real life so hope you're doing fine, take it easy and hope to hear from you sometime.

Utah's was the only legit one around then. It was the one that looked exactly like this one.

I actually said I was surprised that you're still alive because I remember the way you said you lived your life then...at like 17.

I just checked in but...I'll email you dude..nice to see you back.

Sent you an e-mail back bro. Easier to talk there
