Abstract :
Hypertension is an abnormal increase in blood
pressure in the arteries continuously over a period of
time. This occurs when the arterio-arterioles constrict.
The constriction of the arterioles makes it difficult for
blood to flow and increases the pressure against the
artery walls. Hypertension increases the workload of the
heart and arteries which, if continued, can cause damage
to the heart and blood vessels. The purpose of this study
was to prove the reduction of high blood pressure in the
combination of Neuromuscular Taping and Deep
Breathing Exercise. The type of research used is
experimental research with a pre and post test research
design. The results of the Wilcoxon Signed Rank
statistical test showed that there was no difference in
systolic pressure after the intervention was seen from the
pre-test and post-p-value of 0.063, as well as diastolic
pressure there was no difference in the effect of the
intervention seen from the results. pre-test and post-test
p-value 0.157. Thus it can be concluded that based on the
results of the study, slow deep breathing and
neuromuscular taping both have an effect, but there is no
difference in the effect on reducing blood pressure in
patients with hypertension.
