Hypertension and Pre-hypertension: Massage Can Help

Hypertension (high blood pressure) affects 1 in every 3 American adults.  According to the CDC, hypertension increases risk of heart disease and stroke, which are the 1st and 3rd leading causes of death in the US, respectively.

Massage therapy is a proven, safe way to lower blood pressure.  Massage produces lower systolic (during heartbeat) and diastolic (in between beats) blood pressure readings, even 72 hours after a massage.  Since massage therapy is a drug-free intervention with no side effects, it can play an essential role in treatment of high blood pressure.  Talk to your doctor about adding massage therapy to your blood pressure lowering regimen.  Please see Kiel Unger's website for more information.  Massage therapy gift certificates are available through La Paz Salon.
