Panda, have you ever tried also using glucosamine? That may be able to help you retain the temporary height from inversion
Just 1CM should be nice, that way i could lengthen my legs 7CM and be 186-7CM.
Surely a single CM could be possible?

The greater your diurnal spinal shrinkage, the greater the benefit of inversion. 1CM seems to be a realistic goal.
I have 1.5 CM of diurnal spinal shrinkage (177.25 CM to 175.75 CM), so I'm also expecting 1CM from inversion and glucosamine (going to start in the summer). Honestly, with consistency and dedication, that's probably a conservative estimate.
Keep me updated pls!
Just for the record and for what it's worth... I overheard some girl last night say she grew 1 inch taller from yoga
Quote from: ReadRothbard on January 12, 2015, 04:50:51 PMThere is some good evidence that glucosamine supplements can make you about 0.5-0.8 cm taller. But, in all reality, a few millimeters is barely worth it.
I would be happy with a few mm, that would put me at a very secure 5'8 (around 173.
and also would mean I have fewer CMs to lengthen to 180.

Yeah, I mean, even 1 cm would be great. I'm a solid 5'7 in the morning, and I'd like to keep it that way throughout the day.
I don't see why at least 1cm wouldn't be possible. Granted, you'd probably have to keep doing yoga/inversion/gluco in order to keep it. But if the yoga was only required like 3-4 days per week, that's not that bad, I don't think.
I will definitely be trying this once I recover.
I've done glucosammine for a few months now. Definitely no significant gains, but I don't want to quit and shrink, even if just a mm lol. I wonder, does gluco work by making you retain your night height or it bumps your morning & night height up the same amount?
I'm going to look into Yoga. Even just doing the cobra pose while I read or use a laptop could help. I'm a big spine guy, I really think it should be possible to gain up to 3 inches...My 86 year old grandpa went from 5'11 to like 5'4 from disc generation, the spine is clearly a malleable part of the body. If it can shrink by 7 inches, why can't it grow by just 2? Just 2! That's all I would ask for. Apart from thickening the discs, you could try growing the actual bones--studies showed low intensity pulsed ultrasound could make bones grow and thicken, if you apply it to the spine ideally it would make it grow with the moving parts in proportion...as long as you don't apply any sudden or extreme force to your spine, you WON'T end up paralyzed. Humans with spines that sensitive would have been weeded out by evolution.
