Do the stretching exercises that claim to make you 2-9 inches taller actually work?

Hello. I sincerely doubt whether stretching exercises will make one taller. Your height is dependant upon your genes and your ancestors height. The only way your get taller if your over 21 is by wearing stilts so I wouldn't rely on the exercises you mentioned above to increase your height. Your most likely fine just the way you are. :o) No. There is only one way and that's through surgery and it's difficult, painful and can take more than 1 - 4 operations. Some people walked slumped over, so stretching exercises are good for the body and by standing up straighter you will look taller. Other than that there isn't any other way of becoming taller. The operation the above poster mentioned is only done on a very few selected people (especially children to teens.) Don't worry so much about your height. There are famous people that are short. Tom Cruise is only 5' 6" tall (my height) and Richard Gere is only about 5' 9" tall, etc. Height hasn't got much to do with anything and it's what's inside a person that counts and some good brain matter doesn't hurt either.

Do stretching exercises that claim to make you taller actually make you taller if you follow the steps and eat healthy if you are 16 years old and 5'0'' and want to be at least 5'4''?
If you are only 16 (and I am assuming female) then you have at least 4 more years in which you may grow. Staying healthy with exercise and food will mean that your body will grow to its maximum and not be stunted in any way, but truthfully it is your genes that make you tall (or not).
