A trial visit at Growth and Grow Medical Center is designed to give families a clearer idea of how the centre approaches height development before deciding whether to continue with a longer program. Rather than simply talking through options, the session includes assessment, physical treatment and exercise, so parents can see how the different parts of the program work together.
Growth and Grow is based at Siam Scape in central Bangkok and works mainly with children and teenagers who are still within their natural growth period.
The Visit Starts With a Consultation
The first part of the trial program is a consultation about height and development. This gives the team a chance to understand why the family has come in and look at the child’s current situation before moving onto the physical side of the session.
Growth and Grow says its programs are planned individually, taking into account things such as age, stage of growth, family history and other factors that may affect development.
For parents, this is useful because it gives them a chance to ask questions rather than arriving with a fixed program already decided for them.
Body Structure Is Checked With VISBODY
The trial also includes an assessment with the VISBODY 3D scanner.
Growth and Grow uses this to look at body structure and posture. The centre also works with physiotherapists, so the assessment can help identify areas that may need attention as part of the program.
Posture is one of the areas Growth and Grow regularly includes alongside height development. The centre talks about things such as rounded shoulders, body alignment and other structural issues rather than looking only at the number on a height chart.
There Is a Three Step Treatment Program
The trial session includes Growth and Grow’s three step treatment program using physiotherapy equipment and physical techniques.
The centre says its approach is non-surgical and doesn’t use height injections or acupuncture. Instead, the program combines physical treatment with exercise, nutrition and other areas that can support development during the natural growth years.
This part of the trial gives families a better idea of what actually happens during a normal session rather than only hearing about the program in a consultation.
Exercise Is Part of the Session
Exercise is another important part of the visit. Growth and Grow works with physiotherapists and sports science staff to create exercises suited to the individual.
That can include stretching, movement and exercises designed around the child’s body and posture. The aim is to make exercise part of the wider program rather than treating it as something completely separate.
Parents can also see the type of exercise their child would be doing if they continued with a longer course.
The Trial Is Really About Seeing How the Program Works
The biggest benefit of the trial session is that families get to experience several parts of Growth and Grow’s approach in one visit. They can speak with the team, have body structure assessed, try the treatment program and go through the exercise side before deciding what they want to do next.
For parents who have been researching height programs but aren’t sure what actually happens inside a clinic, the trial gives them a much clearer look at the process than simply reading about it online.
