Hi thanks for using HCM.

Growing taller depends on heridity mainly and then your nutrition and work (exercise). If your epiphysis (present at the end of long bones) has fused then growing taller is not possible naturally.
You supplement with protein rich food and mean time do lot of stretching exercises (not muscle building) like swimming, cycling etc. This will definately help in growing taller if his epiphysis has not fused. Even proper sleep is required as growth hormone is released more during night. So early morning sleep is required. Hope I answered your question. Wish you good health. Take care.
