Why would massage be harmful if you suffer from hypertension(high blood pressure)?

Massage can stimulate the circulation & help with the drainage of fluids from the tissues into the circulation. As one of the factors influencing blood pressure is to do with cardiac output, the more fluid that needs to be circulated, the higher the pressure will be. So, if the circulation is increased by the action of massage & fluid increases in the circulation, both of these factors could increase blood pressure that is already high. However, warming the skin will lower blood pressure as the blood vessels in the skin will dilate, so the pressure will reduce (think of having a bigger bore hose, the pressure of the water is less). Also, the relaxing effect is good for lowering blood pressure as the pulse rate reduces so in effect, it is also good for the heart. Personally, I wouldn't give a vigerous massage to a hypertensive person but a light, warming massage could be beneficial. Hope this helps!
massage no problem with high blood pressure
A massage stimultes. anything that gets the sences will cause blood pressure to raise. I found out even watching TV and lauhing will raise it. Sleep is the best way to relax enough to lower your blood pressure. The very best thing to do is find out how you ended up with it and change your life style by changing the foods you eat and taking the Vitamins that are available for peope with high blood pressure and if you have a weight problem, most of the time losing weight will cause the high blood pressure to go back to normal.Do some research on Vitamins. I reccomend them to everyone. You would be surprised to find just how wonderful they are and how much better you wil feel.
