How to recover from muscle aging

In general, muscle aging can be improved through exercise, moxibustion, infrared therapy, heat application, medication, and other methods. Specific analyses are as follows:

1. Exercise

If a patient maintains poor posture for a long time, such as crossing legs or sitting with legs folded, it may lead to premature aging of leg muscles. It is recommended that patients engage in physical activities such as swimming or running, which can promote blood circulation in the legs and alleviate muscle aging.

2. Moxibustion

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese therapy that promotes blood circulation, regulates the functions of internal organs and vital energy (Qi), and helps unblock meridians. Additionally, it can facilitate the recovery of damaged tissues and cells, thereby treating and relieving symptoms of muscle aging.

3. Infrared Therapy

Patients can also undergo infrared therapy as a form of physical treatment, which helps relax local muscles and improve the condition of muscle aging.

4. Heat Application

Applying heat causes sustained dilation of blood vessels in the affected area where muscle aging has occurred, resulting in continuously increased local blood flow.

5. Medication

If a patient already shows signs of muscle aging, they may, under medical supervision, use medications such as compound chondroitin sulfate tablets or sodium hyaluronate injections. Additionally, patients may take neurotrophic medications as directed by a physician—such as mecobalamin tablets or vitamin B1 tablets—to promote nerve repair and improve muscle aging.

If a patient experiences severe muscle aging, prompt medical consultation at a hospital is recommended to avoid delays in treatment.
