Abstract

Background and Aim Hypertension is a common disease and universal that can cause cardiovascular disease and kidney damage.

Results The results showed that eight weeks of Massage reduced blood pressure (P=0. 001), the Heart Rate (P=0. 001), and C-reactive protein (P=0. 001) in women with hypertension compared to the control group (P=0. 62). Conclusion The findings of this study showed that Massage for eight weeks is an efficient and appropriate method to improve Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, Heart Rate, and C-reactive protein in patients with hypertension.
