Many already view massage as an

important approach to relieving muscle

pain or as a means to relax. However,

working with a qualified massage

therapist can also play a significant

role in improving cardiovascular health as evidenced by a growing body

of research, according to the British Massage Therapy Association.

The British Heart Association warns against the risks of high blood

pressure which can lead to cardiovascular issues including stroke, heart

disease and kidney failure. With proactive management of high blood

pressure, individuals can lower their chance of developing these conditions.1

A multitude of recent research shows a direct correlation between massage

therapy and improved cardiovascular health.
