Massage effect for low blood pressure and life quality related with health

The aim of the research To research the effect of massage on low blood pressure and health related effect on quality of life. Research subjects During the research there was used as massage as a measure to raise the blood pressure and also there was used the SF-36 questionnaire. Patient selection criteria were chosen to include people aged between 18 and 25 years old, which as well has the blood pressure lower than 120/80 mm/Hg. In the study participated 11 patients who were randomly selected to two groups. The control group consisted of 4 patients and in the experimental group there were 7 patients. The control group has completed the SF-36 questionnaire before and after the research. The experimental group received a massage 2 times a week for each patient in 5 procedures. During the procedures, blood pressure was measured before and after the massage. Also patients completed the SF-36 questionnaire before and after the research. Research results It has been established that all fives massage procedures has a positive effect on reducing systolic blood pressure. The first and fifth massage procedures has a positive effect on reducing diastolic blood pressure (p<0,05). Between experimental and control groups a statistically significant difference was only obtained for diastolic blood pressure (p<0,05). Conclusions 1. After assessing the effect of massage on systolic blood pressure, it turned out that the results of the experimental group were statistically significant (p <0.05). 2. Assessing the effect of massage on diastolic blood pressure, it turned out that the results of the experimental group were statistically significant (p <0.05). 3. Analysis of the SF-36 questionnaire revealed that statistically significant (p
