The Effect of Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) Exercise on Blood Pressure Reduction in Hypertensive Clients: A Literature Review

Abstract

Compliance with taking antihypertensive drugs is low amongst patients with hypertension. Uncontrolled blood pressure causes heart disease, kidney failure, diabetes, and stroke. It is necessary to have alternative support in controlling blood pressure by using progressive muscle relaxation exercises. This study aimed to determine the effect of progressive muscle relaxation on reducing blood pressure in patients with hypertension. The research design used was a literature study with a sample size of 20 journals: Pubmed (n=2), Proquest (n=4), Science Direct (n=8) and Biomed Central (n=6). By using the keyword search data “Progressive Muscle Relaxation AND Blood Pressure AND Hypertension OR Hypertensive” and using analysis techniques with thematic analysis, 95% of the results of the study reported that there was a decrease in systolic and diastolic values in hypertensive patients before and after the progressive muscle relaxation intervention and 5% reported that there was no change. Progressive muscle relaxation is effective for lowering blood pressure in hypertensive patients.
