In today’s world, sedentary lifestyles have become a significant concern. Prolonged sitting hours and lack of physical activity, often associated with desk-job culture, are leading to a noticeable loss of muscle mass. This condition, known as muscular atrophy, is commonly observed in older adults, and is referred to as sarcopenia.
However, the trend is increasingly affecting individuals aged 30 to 50 due to modern work habits and inactivity.
Muscular atrophy refers to the wasting and thinning of muscles and muscle fibers. This phenomenon can arise from disuse of muscles, prolonged inactivity, or even neurological conditions like Multiple Sclerosis. The loss of muscle mass, or sarcopenia, results in muscles appearing smaller than usual and there is a significant reduction in muscular strength.
Causes of Muscular Atrophy
This condition can be triggered due to various factors, such as:
Lack of physical activity
Malnutrition
Aging
Genetic predisposition
Certain medical conditions
At ABTP, we assess the patient and understand the root cause of the issue. This is essential for implementing preventive measures and maintaining muscle health of individuals across all age groups.
Look at the section below and explore the way our Experts can support anyone experiencing muscular atrophy.
How ABTP Can Help You Prevent or Conquer Muscular Atrophy?
At ABTP, we offer a holistic and expert-guided approach to help prevent or manage muscular atrophy. Here’s how we can support you:
1. Assessment of Cause
The most advanced assessments available at ABTP become the foundation of an effective treatment plan. The ABTP experts conduct detailed evaluation and identify the underlying cause of muscle atrophy, ensuring that a targeted and personalized training plan tailored to the specific needs of the individual is given.
2. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)
FES is one of the advanced electrotherapy techniques used at ABTP. This stimulates the inactive muscles, triggering muscle contractions. By delivering electrical impulses in a controlled manner, this therapy further promotes muscle reactivation and strength recovery.

By the incorporation of aerobic exercises like walking, running, cycling, or swimming, our Experts focus on improving the blood circulation, endurance, and also maintain the muscle function with the help of continuous movement. All this, hence, is crucial in preventing muscular atrophy. Based on your fitness levels, ABTP experts recommend the most suitable activities for you so that you are able to enhance your overall stamina and muscle health.
5. Weight Training
Weight training is the cornerstone of building and maintaining the muscle mass in muscular atrophy. This helps to combat muscular atrophy by creating resistance which stimulates muscle fibers, promotes growth, strengthens and prevents further muscle loss through progressive overloading. This further enhances the muscle strength over time. With effective weight training, the muscles get strengthened and the score of your overall fitness also boosts.
Therefore, we at ABTP ensure long-term independence and vitality for you.
