The Cao 360° method
Six pillars, one plan. Medicine leads.
Medical evaluation
A specialist assesses height, growth speed, puberty and — when indicated — bone age and hormone tests, then decides whether treatment is needed.
Nutrition
Meals matched to age and growth needs. Supplements are used only according to individual needs and what the body actually requires.
Physical activity
Activity that supports muscles, bones and posture, fitted into a real school timetable.
Sleep
A healthy sleep rhythm that supports recovery and natural growth physiology.
Knowledge
Understanding how growth really works, so habits last.
Personal plan
Built around age, goals, lifestyle and what the family can realistically do.
How it works
Assessment in three steps at Vinmec Times City
Prepare & book
Send measurements and parents’ heights (or the printable growth record, in Vietnamese). Our team reviews them and books your visit.
Examination at Vinmec Times City
A hospital specialist examines, re-measures and orders a bone-age X-ray or tests only when clinically indicated.
Results & follow-up
The physician explains the results and decides on management. We support daily habits, 3-monthly measurements and follow-up visits.
Adults 18+
Honest about adults
Most adults have closed growth plates. In rare endocrine conditions, plates can stay open past 18 — only a physician and an X-ray can tell. If they are closed, we focus on posture, spine and standing tall, never on promises of extra centimetres.
