Rebuild Strength and Vitality
Muscle loss, also known as sarcopenia, is a condition that can affect anyone, particularly as we age. It can lead to decreased strength, mobility issues, and an increased risk of injury. At Med Matrix, we offer specialized treatments to help you regain muscle mass, improve strength, and enhance your overall quality of life.
Understanding Muscle Loss
Muscle loss can occur due to a variety of factors, including aging, hormonal changes, chronic illness, and sedentary lifestyle. It’s important to address muscle loss early to prevent further decline and maintain physical function and independence.

Aging
As we age, our bodies naturally lose muscle mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia.
Chronic Illness
Conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can lead to muscle wasting.

Inadequate intake of protein and other essential nutrients can hinder muscle maintenance and growth.
