Just like humans, giraffes have seven neck vertebrae. For giraffes, however, each one can be over ten inches (25.4 centimeters) long!

Odds are good you are under a lot of stress. Many people carry their tension in their upper shoulders and neck. I would suggest that you should see a chiropractor or massage therapist.

I have a neck loaded with titanium. Some excercises: 1. Lean your head down chestward. Slowly work the neck both ways (Move it to the right and then move it to the left) 2. With your head straight up, place your hand on your right temple. Hold your neck against your hand HARD and do the other side the same way. 3. Lean your head back as far as you can and then lean it forward as far as you can. This works those poor muscles very well. And a warm shower. Bad, bad? Alternating cold and hot ice packs. Also, this is a good one. Take an old pillowcase (or buy a new one, who cares) and fill it 1/4 full of white rice. Sew the top. To heat it, mike the bag for two minutes with a glass of water 1/4 full in there with the pillowcase. What do you have then? A completely malleable healing pack that molds itself to your body. You can use until it falls apart and start over.

5' 4" to 5' 9''  - but that's including all the exceptionally tall races and tiny pygmies. Really, it's a hopelessly wrong way to try to look at it. If you are shorter than men in your immediate society and that troubles you, then you need to research on the internet what options there are. There are multitudes of different treatments ranging from surgery to lengthen limbs - the legs in particular -  and as much as 3" increase in height has been attained, to more primitive ones, employed by some African races, of stretching the neck by having metal hoops added to the neck so that it stretches over time. Body stretching  through exercise is not going to gain you very much in height, maybe 1/2'' at the most. If there were pills that worked they would be big sellers I am sure. It might be better to thank God for making you just the way you are. How can he be wrong? Every single soul is regarded as a magnificent treasure by God.

You can't; however, you can stregthen the surrounding muscles, allowing you to "hold it" for longer periods of time.\nIf you've ever flexed a muscle that seems to be right in the middle of your thigh, that's the muscle that controls all the organs in that area. Simply flexing it for 10-20 seconds whenever you get bored or whatever can will build it up over time, strengthen a variety of functions in that area. I heard about it for men, but muscles are the same in everyone, so it should work for anybody.

This is what my recommendation is.\n\nGood food and Stretching exercises.\n\nI have an article on this subject please read it and understand it.\n*********************************************************************\nIncreasing the Height \nBy \nminootoo\n\n\n\nYou did not say how old you are. But you are under 18 years of age.\n\nIn rear cases, you can increase the height up to age 30.\n\nYou said you have been Cycling. That is a good exercise and fun too.\n\nYou need to adjust the seat so that when you paddle from seating position you will actually stretch your legs, it is a difficult position but doable. For safety you need to be on track and not in traffic, safety first.\n\nThe FEW things I did at least helped me.\n\nSwimming. \n\nNot just playing in water, but serious laps type swimming, do not try to beat the clock but steady full strokes swimming. Remember slow and steady wins the race.\n\nStretching exercises on floor.\n\nFind them on line.\n\nChin ups.\n\nFull stretch type.\n\nSwinging from a rope.\n\nFull stretch climbing.\n\nIn other words do things that require stanching.\nSTRETCH-STRETCH-STRETCH-STRETCH\n\nPS\n\nIn the morning after good night sleep every one is about 1/2 inch to 1 inch taller. This is because the soft tissue between the bones recovers during the time when there is no weight on them.\n\nOlder people loose height due to bone loss. I was 5', 7'' I am only 5', 5".\n\nIssue of Genes: \n\nYou know only the active genes but genes can stay dormant for generations.\n\nI believe that every one has some tall height genes, dormant or active; I again believe that certain exercises can activate those.\n\nAgain Swimming: \n\nYou will start out with half a lap and build up day by day, half a lap at a time. Then you will swim non stop for 1/2 an hour.\n\nThe speed is not important but you must use various strokes and do them correctly, completely, slowly and perfectly. This way you will have full stretch, and its benefit.

LoL....Actually there is. Take a wet towel drape over and flex the muscle up and down as if doing weight bench lifts but only this time it's your *****. The wet towel causes more weight. Start with small reps and add on gradually. Have fun and enjoy your new girth.

Cyropracters are good for straightnening boies. You have to first access the cause of why your neck is bent? It normally works like a chain, so it could be your hamstrings, pulling your back, pulling your shoulders pulling your neck. General streching of the thights, bum, back, shouloders and neck should loosen everything up. Dont bounce when you strech though. Heidi

- You can increase your height.\n- Not through tablets but very simple excercises.\n- Like you i have gaing some 3 inches with simple and hurtless excercises which treats with you neck, hip and  legs to gain wait with 3 to 6 months.\n- For that explanation of excercise postures you need photo illustrations which i cannot make in in the net.\n- But i can suggest you to get a Height gaining excercise book in the local book shop or in a local library.\n- all the best.\n----------------------------

strech as much as you can. Do it when you get up in the morning and whne you go to bed and dont push too much but do more than what you thought you could each day and then you are pretty much guarenteed to be more flexible.

How about this one:\n\nBehind the Neck Press 3 x 10\nUpright Rows    3 x 10\nShrugs          3 x 10\n\nThree times a week. Increase the weight by 10% every two weeks.

If you aren't flexible as a kid it isn't likely you can be as an adult. You can however increase your flexibilty (to a point), but the kind you're talking about starts young..

I would say keep stretching - every day.  Maybe increase the time that you stretch until you feel that your limbs are reaching optimal flexibility levels.

Start with little stretches each day. 30min a day It's not nessacarily easy to just become flexible in a short amount of time your body has to become trained
