Rate my proportions. Should I do Femurs or Tibias. Pics Included.

do you have a bwc?

I think it comes down to the fact that I have a 24 Degree Cobb angle in my spine. So yeah i'm a true spinecel. I just found out recently. So I think I could gain 2.25cm in height if I completely corrected this. I'm gonna try in the next few months and see what height I can crank out of my spine.

When I plugged your numbers into a knee height to height calculator. The results stated you should stand about 180.3cm tall so a hair over 5’11. So that’s likely your real height if you were to fix the scoliosis. But assuming it’s structural scoliosis and not postural. It’s nearly impossible to fully realign the spine, and scoliosis actually worses with age as the effects of osteoporosis are exacerbated by the curve. So at most you’d gain an inch which you would probably lose again anyways. Your money is better spent on LL. With you having bad spine issues, I wouldn’t even lengthen by no more than 2 inches tbh.

@Spinecel

This is my fuel.

I wonder if that does anything for Hyperlordosis which is what I have. It’s probably only making me lose like 1-2cm at most tho. So I gotta cope with my lifts until I can afford 3 inch LL.

LOL there's no way I could be 5'11 imo. That would be a 6cm gain. I will post results here on what I find out from Schroth though, because a non-surgical straightening of the spine and height gain would be a golden looksmax for a lot of people. There's breathing rotation, etc, so for men this would be a pretty prime alternative to yoga, to be added into workout routines (obv need to modify so it doesn't look as sus as the vid above but you get what I mean)

Yeah 6cm is a lot of height. But that’s typical height loss caused by scoliosis. You aren’t a rare case at all. But you’ll only get gains from non surgical methods if your issues are mostly due to posture & muscle/tendon imbalances and not your spine grew at a curve due to genetics.

Not rare as in you think I could hit the 6cm gain? I think a 6cm purely postural asymmetry would be rare without a leg length discrepancy or something coming into play.

I looked into this quite a bit already. I think i'm more up to date on the current methods for spinal influence and correction than most people who work with the spine (Chiro, Physio, probably some doctors). I'll legit walk into their office for a consultation and see a plastic/urethane or something spine on the ground that they keep referring to and they're barely up to date on the latest methods for it.

Which brings me to my next point. You have to study a ton and understand the way the spine is woven together with the muscles and tendons. Current methods have a tethering system that straightens the spine during growth through minimally invasive surgery that you can get prior to being done growing. I'm thinking though that working on the tendons and muscles themselves, which are already tethered to the spine should do the same with decent muscle/mind connection during your exercises.

Sounds intriguing and high IQ. You should make a thread about this with more detailed explanations about the exercises and whatnot. If there’s any anecdotal evidence of people getting height gains from this.
