I am wondering if fixing anterior tilt will increase your height at all?



It gives you better posture, but is it possible for a 6'2'' person with slight lordosis and anterior hip flexors gain height when fixing them? How much height can be expected from this?

[Kotiki]

Of course, it will help. If you have a pronounced Donald Duck butt, fixing it might give you extra 2-3 cm.

Just saw you said "slight". Maybe, 1 cm then. Still better than nothing.

people with lordosis get to gain 1-2cm in treatment but this depends a lot on the level of lordosis that you have. in cases of scoliosis can also be up to 2.5cm because the deviations are laterals. but we are talking about serious cases

[6feet2isTooShort]

1 cm from glucosamine.

1 cm from fixing pelvic tilt.

0.5 cm from stretching.

Oh, look, that is already +1 inch to height. Not bad.

im an expert in this  . been on years trying to fix my apt and kyphotic back. trust me it requires years of dedicated exercise regimen and fixing both, t-spine and lumbar spine and neck would add an inch to the most. 1.5 if ur lucky. nowhere near ll.

but if u top it off with ll then consider 7cm from single ll surgery and 2.5-3cm from fixing ur spine. ur talking 10cm gain which most ppl achieve with 2 surgeries.

Adding an inch would be amazing.

Doing LL for my case would be stupid.


Sanity, which is best regimen you would recommend for fixing this hip flexor issue?

[Sanity]

there is tonns of info on the internet regarding this.

- stretching + inversion with weights + inverted situps + working out for hgh

- high quality diet

- supplements (will cost u, but not so much)

- sleeping on hardfloor and sleeping on ur back only

- being pateint with it and giving it a long time (atleast 4-6 months for gains) and (a year for making it permanent)

if u can manage all this, uve got ur 1 inch u were looking for with bonus of improved posture and ofc other health benifits not mentioned.

regarding fixing ur apt u will need to be regular on working out

u need to stretch 2 muscle groups: 1= hipflexors (illiopsoas,adductor magnus, tfl, quads mainly rectus femoris) and 2 = lowerback (erector spinea, quadratus lumborum + few others)

u need to strengthen 2 muscle groups: 1 = glutes( mainly glute maximus and medius) and 2= Abs (mainly rectus abdominas and transversus abdominis) obliques arnt neccessary.

I'l suggest follow a routine by some pt for quick start or if u wana make ur own do some research into the exercises 1st

u can start from here, (hes the best pt on the internet imo ofc):

I've heard it can be up to 2 inches, even 2.5 in very severe cases.  I have pretty severe hyperlordosis, where would I go to get diagnosed?

[efedbak]

No one?

[Megaman(blueboy)]

This is gold, can anyone write down an actual regiment to follow? And pointers?

[Montreal172]

why glucosamine ?

[Epitaph]

So can you NOT stand straight at all with APT?

I’d assume that when taking your height measurement, you’d be standing at your maximum height unless APT causes some weird muscle tension pulling you down.
