In most cases of myopathy massage is indicated, in other words helpful. It depends on what is the cause of the myopathy (disease of the muscles). If it is caused by a genetic disorder, like Duchenne's Muscualr Dystrophy, then it is indicated and helps to promote muscular function to improve the quality of life, but cannot cure the disease. In any case where there is nyopathy, it would be wise to consult with the primary health provider, their doctor, before using any complimentary treatments, such as massage.
