In the brief Hypertension, Cholesterol & Massage program we've combined four articles written especially for the Institute's Massage Professionals Update. These four articles include:
- How Bodywork Impacts Hypertension - Depending on what techniques are applied, massage therapy can either raise or lower blood pressure. In preparation for working with hypertensive clients, it's crucial you know which modalities to choose.
- Hypertension: Massage Indication or Contraindication? - Being a responsible massage therapist often means combining information from various sources to arrive at an educated conclusion. In the case of treating a client with hypertension, choosing the best way to proceed can be tricky. While modern research touts its ability to reduce blood pressure, massage therapy is also one of the most commonly taught contraindications for hypertension.
- Statins and Massage Therapy - As one of the most frequently prescribed medications, make certain you know what side effects statins cause and how to address them in a massage therapy practice.
- Can Massage Affect Cholesterol Levels? - Learn about a Japanese study confirming that a specific type of massage can have measurable results for lowering cholesterol levels.
