How To Treat Shorter Leg Than Torso?
Hi! I have my legs shorter than my torso and I have 34 years old. I saw on google that I am not the only one , but they are people who claim that they made their legs longer through biking , swimming , and from putting weights. Is there any treatment you know that will not imply surgery ? Thank you.

Hi
At your age, with your epiphyseal growth plates having fused long ago, there is no combination of exercise or weight training that can increase the length of your legs
