High blood pressure is the most common chronic medical problem in the US prompting visits to primary health care providers, with 1 in 3 adults having High Blood Pressure.  The American Heart Association estimated the direct and indirect costs of High Blood Pressure in 2010 at $76.6 billion.  The World Health Organization has identified High Blood pressure, as the leading cause of Cardiovascular Mortality, as it can lead to Heart Disease, Heart Failure, Stroke, Kidney Failure, Aortic Aneurysms and Aneurysms of the Arteries.

Swedish Massage lowers Blood Pressure by Dilating Blood Vessels and Increasing Circulation.  Both Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure Readings decline following Swedish Massage and remain lower for up to 40 minutes.  There is also a reduction in Anxiety and Stress Hormones. Researchers from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that participants who received Swedish massage had a significant decrease in the hormone arginine-vasopressin.
