  1. Not really sure what your question is... But it sounds like you want to know how to massage someone with high blood pressure?

    This isn't really a good idea, as most techniques in massage will increase the circulation and send more blood through the veins to the heart.  If someones BP is high, this extra stress can be unhealthy and dangerous.  

    That said, some gentle lighter slower techniques can be done and can possibly relax the client, thus slightly and temporarily lowering their BP.  

    If I have understood your question correctly, then I would suggest that the person with high BP see their doctor to receive a note with their opinion about massage treatment and that they see a professional massage therapist with a lot of experience.  


  2. Massaging someone with high blood pressure is contraindicated without doctor's consent.

    the techniques are basic swedish massage and can be learned in a program of study. I would not feel comfortable giving you specifics here.

    Please do not take offense, but if you massage someone with high blood pressure under certain circumstances you can actually cause congestive heart failure, a heart attack.

    Not something anyone should be doing unless trained and certified.
