ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION AND MASSAGE — BORIS PRILUTSKY BRINGS US NEW RESEARCH AND TECHNIQUES
By Brenda Baker, LMT
An evening of rich and varied information is always assured with Boris – a great teacher from a part of the world where massage is the serious, medical modality we can only envision and aspire to in this country. A wellspring of both theory and practice, Boris gives us all a lift and a glimpse into the ever possible tomorrow of massage in America.
The fearsome mystery of hypertension, killer, and disabler that it is, was revealed as both symptom and disease, cause and result. Since only 8% of its diagnosis is attributed to kidney dysfunction, tumors on the adrenaline gland, or narrowing of the aorta, the remaining 92% comes with etiology unknown. In such cases, the patient is diagnosed with “essential hypertension” or EH. Boris also discussed the pervasive use of blood pressure medicine and the body’s ability to override it, resulting in the changing of medicines, and the inherent problems and side effects.
A little bit of history
In 1973 Professor Alexander Dembo of Leningrad conducted a study involving cervical region disorders in conjunction with a relief of pain and hypertension. Some of the protocols could be used after warming the body and increasing circulation. The demonstration featured techniques for the anterior scalene muscles, and the obliquus capitis inferior muscles, which if tight can compress the vertebral artery. This would limit blood supply to the posterior part of the brain. The compromised amount of blood supply to the brain due to the obstruction of the vertebral artery will awake high blood pressure. Also, Boris demonstrated direct stimulation of the vertebral artery at the place of its insertion into the skull (foramen magnum) Work such as this prevents strokes, heart attacks, and lowers blood pressure. Boris invited us to join a class at his school, IPPT, which will provide much information, plus the Drs. Glezer-Dalicho charts of reflex zones abnormalities in skin, connective tissue, and muscles. Elimination of reflex zones abnormalities, according to Boris, is an important factor in achieving results.
