Hypertension And Hypotension Posted: 02-11-04 17:16pm


I'm doing a course in hydrotherapy, the kneipp theory and would like to know why when you have vacoconstriction with applications of cold you shouldn't use cold applications on people with hpb. I thought the vasocontricting would help bring down the bp. Similarly, with a steam bath they say people with lbp shouldn't have them. I would of thought that the hot steam would be helpful to the lbp with vasodilation. I have got myself so confused. I would appreciate a reply as soon as possible. Thanking you in advance. Vincent

You definitely don't need to constrict the blood vessels if they have high blood pressure. That would just cause it to go even higher. Not sure about that steam bath though.
