Patient's question:
My grandfather has always had high blood pressure. Recently, he wants to get a massage. So, I want to ask if massage is suitable for high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hypertension is a chronic vascular disease. With standardized treatment using antihypertensive drugs, blood pressure can be reduced to normal levels. After blood pressure returns to normal, manual therapy can be understood. Some elderly people may develop hypertension due to arteriosclerosis in the cervical blood vessels, and manual therapy can be used to care for the cervical spine. Generally, manual therapy should not be performed when blood pressure is high, and medication should not be stopped during manual therapy. Wishing you good health.
