Muscle atrophy

Have unexplained body pain that continues to be a mystery? Negative X-ray, MRI and medical screens? It may just be muscle atrophy and fascia. 720-515-7479.

A team of French and German researchers report in the May 2008 print issue of The FASEB Journal (http://www.fasebj.org) that people with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy are missing a protein called c-FLIP, which the body uses to prevent the loss of muscle tissue. By targeting the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for creating this protein, scientists could develop new drugs to stop muscle wasting from limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and other conditions.

Muscle atrophy is usually a result of a lack of physical activity, advanced aging, and some medical conditions. ⁠ ⁠ Make sure you stay active and supplement with amino acids. Amino acid has been proven to help accelerate muscle recovery in times of sickness and illness. ⁠ ⁠ Click the link in bio to learn more about amino acid therapy for muscle atrophy.⁠ ⁠ #muscle #musclehealth #wellness #healthy #fitness #nutrition #wellbeing #protein #supplements #aminoacids #amino #aminoco

Muscle atrophy, muscle-wasting, or the more technical term cachexia are all relatively interchangeable terms. It’s when a person begins to lose muscle and becomes increasingly weaker often as a result of a disease or infection such as cancer, HIV or others. This weakness can reduce the effectiveness of treatment and also certainly the quality of…

Muscle atrophy can occur after prolonged illness or periods of malnutrition. Learn more about preventing and reversing atrophy.

Muscle atrophy is defined as a decrease in the mass of the muscle; it can be a partial or complete wasting away of muscle. When a muscle atrophies, this leads to muscle weakness, since the ability to exert force is related to mass.

Being inactive even for short periods or nerve damage can lead to loss of muscle. Learn what causes muscle atrophy and how you stop it or reverse it.

Age-related muscle loss is a natural part of getting older. But muscle loss can occur faster after an injury, illness, or any prolonged period of inactivity, leading to muscle atrophy. The conseque...

Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy is a condition that primarily affects muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles) and the heart (cardiac muscle). Explore symptoms, inheritance, genetics of this condition.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a collection of inherited neuromuscular diseases. Muscle weakness is the main symptom, and this can affect breathing, eating, posture, and movement. Some types can be fatal, but newer treatments show promise for slowing disease progression and improving symptoms. Find out more.

How does stretching fascia affect your flexibility and the way you move? Stretching muscles and their fascia should be the focus of your flexibility training.

SMA refers to a group of inherited neuromuscular diseases that affect the nerve cells (motor neurons) and the control of voluntary muscles. Learn more.

Promoting muscle restoration is essential to a healthy body! Decrease your chance of injury, reduce muscle fatigue, and increase strength. This is all so essential for a healthy body! Find out the best ways to promote muscle restoration! #muscles #health #bodyhealth #stayhealthy

Muscle atrophy is more common than most people realize, especially in such a sedentary society. It is important to exercise daily to maintain muscle mass and strength, as well as flexibility. While massage therapy cannot directly build muscle, it can minimize pain and provide the optimum cellular circulation and nutrition to maintain the maximum tone and prevent atrophy as long as possible.
