RESULTS There was a significant difference in systolic blood pressure after back massage with a p value<0.05 (p=0.014), the average difference in post and pre intervention was -1.20, while the average systolic blood pressure before intervention was 125.2 and after the intervention was 124.0. There is also a significant difference in diastolic blood pressure after back massage with a p value<0.05 (p=0.00), the average difference in post and pre-intervention was -6.60. The average diastolic blood pressure before intervention was 91.0 and after the intervention was 84.4.
