    Height is influenced by genetics, overall health, nutrition, sleep, physical activity and the timing of puberty. Growth should be monitored over time, and concerns should be discussed with a GP or paediatrician.

  • Growth assessment
    Growth assessment

    A meaningful assessment considers growth charts, growth velocity, pubertal stage, family height and—when medically indicated—bone age. A single height measurement does not provide the full picture.

  • A supportive Chinese medicine approach

    Chinese medicine does not replace paediatric assessment and cannot guarantee increased height. Care may focus on concerns such as digestion, appetite, sleep and general wellbeing to support healthy development.

Assessment·Individualised Care
A child’s growth is influenced by many factors. At Prime & Naturals, we begin by reviewing the child’s growth pattern, health history, sleep, appetite and daily routine. Chinese medicine care may then be used to support general wellbeing while growth is monitored appropriately. We recommend medical assessment for slow growth, early or delayed puberty, or other concerns requiring investigation.
  • Every child grows differently. We begin by reviewing their stage of development and overall health.

  • Care may focus on digestion, appetite, sleep and general wellbeing.

  • Lifestyle guidance may cover food, physical activity, posture and daily routines.

  • Regular review helps monitor growth trends, sleep, appetite and overall progress.
