adult vertebrae are connected by intervertebral discs, facet joints, longitudinal ligaments (ALL, PLL) and paraspinal musculature. whenn you stretch the spine, what increases is disc height via hydration, vertebral bodies do not separate and there is no interosseous gap
a spinal traction on MRI/CT would show transient disc expansion and no change in vertebral body length
if vertebrae did separate enough, it'd be classified as spinal instability or ligamentous failure
A "gap" caused by traction has no fracture signaling, no angiogenic response, no periosteal activation, no callus template
so even if a microscopic gap existed (it doesn’t), bone would not form across it
LIPUS and vibration platforms increase healing rate, increase bone density and enhance callus maturation and do not initiate bone formation in intact bone
if hormones did anything, acromegalycels would be 8 feet tall.
So to summarize all this, it’s over.

My only hope is somehow resuscitating the growth plate (I have a theory of sorts) or

heel smashing, which tbh is almost as retarded as the theory I posited earlier.

I know for a fact that LSJL does not work

heel smashing was a troll post by ehren btw, a former .org user.

Height Growth as an Adult?

Once your growth plates are closed, most people think it's over unless you get LL Surgery. I may have found a way to elongate the bones, without endochondral ossification (growth plate growth).

Now we know banded sleeping works for spinal decompression and gives 1-2 inches over months, however this effect fades away over a few months when you decide to stop. I think this can possibly be turned to real permanent height. Most people don't know but bones have plasticity,they are able to bend and compress without breaking (ex. people with rickets). They can go through deformation.

Now there are two types of deformation,
- elastic deformation
- plastic deformation


8: Schematic of a strain-stress curve of cortical bone in tension ...




Elastic is temporary (bone springs back into original shape). Plastic, however, is permanent, the bone stays in the state its deformed in. In theory, it is possible to permanently elongate bone through carefully applied, sustained axial tension. If a long bone is subjected to tension above its yield point but below the fracture threshold, it can plastically deform.

With induced microfractures in bone combined with banded sleeping, it could gradually lengthen by along that axis. Plastic deformation in this way is irreversible, and once the bone remodels under these new mechanical stresses, it could retain the longer shape as the material adapts to reinforce its structure along the new orientation. This principle is analogous to the surgical procedure of distraction osteogenesis, otherwise known as limb lengthening surgery, except that here it relies purely on mechanical stress instead of osteotomy to creating a physical gap.


Applying this concept to banded sleeping, the idea is that by stretching the bone during sleep WITH induced microfractures could induce sustained axial tension along the spine, femur, and tibia gradually stretching the vertebrae, intervertebral discs, and bone over months. In theory, if this tension were maintained consistently and precisely, the bones could undergo plastic deformation, while the discs adapt to the stress, potentially increasing end-to-end length. Over time, this process could create a permanent increase in stature, as the reinforced bones retain their new elongated geometry via osteogenesis.

I estimate this to cause 5-12mm per year of elongation (0.2-0.5in). It may not seem like much, but over a long period of time (ex. 10 years) it could give 37-92mm (1.5-3.6in) And that not accounting for the fast temporary spinal decompression gains of 1-2 inches in the first 3-6 months.

It may seem ridiculous and difficult but if you're a shortcel I wouldn't complain.

(just a bullshit theory, but I want to try to perform an experiment on myself to see if its really possible)

Okay, so over 10 years, assuming you are past your growth window (like 18), youll be pushing 30 by the time u see any real results. This is insane cope. Just eat well in development or get LLR. Everything else is genuine cope brochacho so either learn to cope or rope.
