This article describes the benefits of combining physical therapy (physiotherapy) in the treatment of male pattern baldness (AGA). In addition to conventional oral and topical medications, exercise therapy and scalp massage are expected to promote blood circulation and reduce stress, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of AGA treatment. It also introduces a comprehensive approach to AGA treatment, including health improvement through strength training and aerobic exercise.
Introduction
Male pattern baldness (AGA) is a common form of alopecia experienced by many men, and while the most common treatment for AGA is drug therapy using oral and topical medications, in recent years there has been a focus on combining Physical Therapy (physiotherapy) to improve the effectiveness of treatment. Physical Therapy is a treatment approach that improves body functions and overall health. This article details the combination of AGA treatment and Physical Therapy.
Finasteride: Inhibits the production of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) and slows the progression of hair loss.
Dutasteride: Similar to finasteride, suppresses DHT production and is expected to be more potent.
Medicine for external use
Minoxidil: stimulates hair matrix cells and promotes hair growth.
Other treatments
Hair transplantation surgery: transplantation of one’s own hair.
Laser therapy: A treatment method that uses a low-power laser to stimulate hair follicles.
What is Physical Therapy?
Physical Therapy is a treatment method that uses exercise, massage, and electrotherapy to improve body function and reduce pain. The main goals of Physical Therapy are to improve muscle strength, flexibility, circulation, and stress reduction.
Exercise and massage, as part of Physical Therapy, stimulate blood circulation. Improved circulation provides adequate nutrients and oxygen to the scalp and improves the health of the hair follicles.
Scalp massage: Stimulating the scalp stimulates blood circulation and supplies nutrients to the hair follicles.
Full-body exercise: Aerobic exercise and strength training improve blood circulation throughout the body and to the scalp.
Improved muscle strength and flexibility
Strength training and stretching improve the body’s muscular strength and flexibility. This improves posture and blood circulation, thereby promoting scalp health.
Improved posture: Good posture improves circulation and blood flow to the scalp.
Strength training: Strength training, such as squats and push-ups, promotes blood circulation throughout the body.
Stress Reduction
Physical therapy can also help reduce stress. Stress is one of the factors that aggravate the progression of AGA, and it is important to maintain physical and mental balance through relaxation.
Relaxation: Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, yoga, and meditation reduce stress and maintain mental health.
Massage: A full-body massage relieves muscle tension and relaxes the body.
Specific Practices for Physical Therapy
Scalp massage
Scalp massage is effective in stimulating blood circulation and supplying nutrients to the hair follicles. Below are some specific methods.
Methods:
Gently massage the scalp with your fingers.
Stimulate the entire scalp with circular movements.
This is done daily for 5 to 10 minutes.
Aerobic exercise
Aerobic exercise improves cardiopulmonary function and increases blood circulation throughout the body. Below are some recommended aerobic exercises.
Walking: Walking for about 30 minutes daily.
Jogging: Jog for 20 to 30 minutes 3 to 4 times a week.
Cycling: incorporate bicycle commuting and weekend cycling.
strength training
Strength training increases muscle mass and improves basal metabolism. Below are some specific training methods.
Squats: strengthens lower body muscles and promotes circulation. Perform 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions 2 to 3 times a week.
Push-Ups: strengthens upper body muscles and improves core stability. Perform 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions 2-3 times per week.
Dumbbell curls: strengthens arm muscles. Perform 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions 2-3 times per week.
Stretching and flexibility exercises
Flexibility exercises increase the range of motion of joints and help prevent injury. It also has a relaxing effect.
Full body stretching: 10-15 minutes of full body stretching after daily exercises.
Yoga: Incorporate one or two yoga sessions per week to help balance the body and mind.
Pilates: Pilates is also useful for strengthening the core and improving flexibility.
Combination of Physical Therapy and other AGA treatments
Concomitant use with oral and topical medications
Combining Physical Therapy with oral or topical medications such as finasteride or minoxidil increases the effectiveness of treatment. Physical Therapy’s ability to stimulate blood circulation maximizes the effectiveness of the medications.
Nutrition and Supplements
Proper nutrition and supplementation are also important. When combined with Physical Therapy, comprehensive health improvement can be expected.
B vitamins: support energy metabolism and maintain hair health.
Zinc: aids cell growth and repair and promotes hair growth.
Omega-3 fatty acids: have anti-inflammatory properties and support scalp health.
Scalp care
Scalp massage and scalp care products help maintain scalp health and support hair growth.
Massage method: Gently massage the scalp using the bellies of your fingers. Stimulate the entire scalp with circular movements.
Scalp care products: scalp shampoos and tonics are used to improve the environment of the scalp.
