Muscle atrophy disorders cause significant health impairment for patients, prompting widespread interest in treatment options. With medical advancements, numerous therapeutic approaches for muscle wasting have emerged clinically. Today we introduce massage techniques for muscle atrophy. Let's explore them below.
Massage Techniques for Muscle Atrophy
1.Pounding Technique: Make fists with both hands and pound the sides of the body back and forth, or combine pounding with the corresponding abdominal areas. Perform 20 times per session.
2. Rubbing Technique: First, rub both palms together until warm. Massage both sides of the waist, 50 times per side. Perform once in the morning and once in the evening daily. This is one treatment method for traumatic muscle atrophy.
3. Pushing Technique: Press both palms firmly against the waist and push vigorously up and down. The movement should be rapid and forceful until warmth is felt.

Important Note: Patients with muscle atrophy require a high-protein, high-energy diet to replenish essential nutrients for rebuilding nerve cells and skeletal muscle cells, thereby enhancing muscle strength and growth. In early stages, prioritize foods rich in protein, vitamins, phospholipids, and trace elements. For mid-to-late stage patients, focus on semi-liquid and liquid diets that are high in protein, nutrition, and energy.
