Build Strength, Have Healthy Blood Pressure
Practical, supervised movement and strength guidance for adults managing high blood pressure safely.
Support for those with High Blood Pressure
We all know of someone who let it slide and didn’t get checked out … and sadly, we all know how it can end up. We all know certain peoples are more likely to have high blood pressure, but everyone should be aware of what their average blood pressure is. You can use our blood pressure monitors anytime you like (we’ll show you), but if you don’t know it, are anxious about it or have a family history and haven’t seen you GP about it, seriously … what are you doing?
Make an appointment right now, but also get in touch with us as well.
Medication is excellent at lowering blood pressure to safe levels … but no-one would choose to take medication if they didn’t have to. High blood pressure responds really well to exercise and good nutrition. Your GP is always in charge here to determine your medication but we can track regularly your progress and hopefully your GP will then reduce the dose required.
We offer testing (no extra) but we must stress (again) that your GP is in charge here. By all means, contact us right now, but also don’t delay and get an appointment for your GP too.
Ok … so now that everyone’s sufficiently terrified, I’m just going to copy/paste this from the previous page … fitness can be fun and make you feel a million dollars.
As seriously as we take the science, the study, the hard work that people put it, the rigour … we never lose sight of the fact that unless we make it enjoyable, it makes it harder for people to turn up. Turning up is a major part of it. You might not feel like smashing it every time, which is fine, we adapt the session … but you need to turn up.
Tbh it’s very rare people walk out the door not feeling better than when they walked in.
Why Use a Sports Scientist?
Sports Scientists are trained to a significantly greater degree than Personal Trainers in human physiology. There are some good Physiotherapists, Osteopaths and Chiropractors, but far too often, too many are prescribing unproven, ineffective treatments. It baffles.
Modern science and a deep understanding of the body is of paramount importance so that you receive the safest, best advice and effective personalised programming.
