Massage Reduces Heart Rate

Therapeutic massage administered by a licensed, professional Massage Therapist has been shown to combat high blood pressure by lowering the heart rate. Massage Magazine reports on a study that showed massage can decrease stress and anxiety, which in turn reduced blood pressure and the heart rate in hypertensive participants.

Therapeutic massage may decrease both systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as reducing stress causing hormones. Reducing stress can lower risk of serious heart-related issues such as heart attack, stroke, and even kidney failure.
