I just recently completed 7.5cm femoral lengthening. One problem I have is i started to develop an apt/ duckass. I wonder if anyone else also had the same problems. What can I do to fix it? How long will it take to see some improvement? Will my height increase by like 1cm after fixing it?
I would truly appreciate if you can help me.

I know this is something you can just search on the internet but I did a lot of research and most of the exercises they show, I cant do them right now cuz I just finished lengthening and my leg is not strong enough. For CLLers who also had this problem, please tell me what you did to fix it. This post will also be useful for other people having the same problem.

I’ve heard different things as far as height and fixing lordosis go. I’ve heard very little to like 2 inches from people. Idk what level yours is at but I’m going to assume it’s because of tight quad muscles, so maybe try stretching those out?

2 inches is way too much. I’m just missing 0.5cm which is less than half an inch. My apt is not that bad and can only be seen when im shirtless. With that said, I still want to get rid of it.

I meant just from apt cases that have been going on for years with lots of spinal compression, just going from the wiki from hyper lordosis. Apt is generally caused by tight hip flexors and low back, and weakened core and hamstrings. So try and loosen those muscles as much you can and strengthen your core as much as possible. And squeeze your glutes and tense your abs while to keep you in a neutral state
