his diet is more important than massaging, add meat chicken n egg to his diet. however you can still massage him with olive oil
give him multiple types of food especially proteins and massage with physiogel lotion 3 times a day
U shud more focus on his diet rather than massage if he has no joint or bone problem. His wt shud b around 11.5kg. Focus on his diet. Give him dates, fresh fruits, addd red meat and fish in his diet. Start giving multivitamins and vit D syrup on daily basis
