Do you slump in your chair while reading a book? Do you bend forward to look at the computer screen? These are poor habits that will only accentuate your spinal curvatures and make you shorter. Here are some posture improving tips to increase height. Always use a chair that has a firm and high backrest. Sit on a chair whose height allows to you keep your knees slightly higher than your hips. If you find that the chair would be too low for your desk then, keep something under your feet to raise your knees above hip level. A footrest on your table would do fine. Else you may need a box or a little stool. Do not sit on soft sofas or chairs. If you find that thereâ??s too much gap between the chair and the small of your back, use a small pillow to support your lower back. Finally, get up, walk and stretch your whole body every 15 minutes to avoid weakening your buttock muscles.
