Height is important — preferences on dating apps are testament to that. There are a lot of options that you can consider if you want to hit you’re height goal and include evasive and non-evasive options for those who are willing to try it. If you are not the knife-and-stitches sort of a person, the“non-invasive” option of growth therapy is finding many takers and involves stretching exercises that guarantee growth. In a warning tale, a Chinese teenager convinced his parents to spend about Rs 2,08,441 on these growth therapy sessions over a span of six months. 

Despite spending such a huge amount, the teen managed to grow a teeny 1.4 cm over this course of time, but lost his progress two weeks after quitting the therapy sessions, much to his disappointment. As if the human anatomy is something that can be jump-started like a motor vehicle. The teen’s father also claimed that  his son’s height went back to original size every time that he missed a therapy session, which the doctors said was because he “had not attended enough sessions yet.”
