3

High-protein nutritional supplementation

Increased protein intake combined with resistance training supports muscle protein synthesis. Protein powders or supplements may help meet increased needs.

dietary

Additional treatment options

Structured exercise therapy

Guided physical therapy program focusing on strength training, proper technique, and gradual progression to maximize muscle development safely.
