According to the World Health Organisation, Hypertension (high blood pressure) causes up to a quarter of all deaths worldwide and affects around one in three people. That’s over 16 Million people in the UK, and 50 million people in the USA.

High blood pressure causes 25% of all deaths worldwide …

Worryingly, around half of people are unaware that they have high blood pressure, which is why the creators of the Hypnotension programme are urging people to get their blood pressure checked as part of the Blood Pressure Association’s annual ‘Know Your Numbers’ awareness week, 12-18th September.

High Blood Pressure is known as ‘The Silent Killer’ because it is often symptomless and people often don’t realise they have it until it is too late.

Hypnotension co-creator, Rob Woodgate says, “Knowing your blood pressure figures is as important as knowing your weight, and catching a rising blood pressure trend early could save your life.”

He adds, “Over 90% of cases of Hypertension have no underlying medical cause, and can be prevented and even reversed with a few simple lifestyle changes.”

… but 50% of people are unaware they have it.

Clinical guidelines define a blood pressure reading consistently around 115/75 as ‘ideal’, and hypertension is a blood pressure reading consistently higher than 140/90mmHg.

According to WHO statistics, high blood pressure causes 62% of strokes and 48% of heart disease.

The Hypnotension Programme looks at a variety of lifestyle factors to establish which is likely to be causing or maintaining high blood pressure. These lifestyle factors are then targeted using specific cognitive and hypnotherapeutic techniques to help reduce the client’s blood pressure towards more normal levels.

There is a network of specially trained Hypnotension practitioners all over the country who can help you make the lifestyle changes which could help save your life.

World Hypertension Day is just around the corner. On May 17, 2012, the world will pause to think about one of the leading causes of stroke and heart disease: hypertension.

The creators of the Hypnotension programme are launching their innovative solution worldwide to coincide with this important day. Already a success in the UK, the Hypnotension programme will soon be officially launched in the USA. With practitioners already training from the UK, Australia, the USA, South Africa, Spain and New Zealand, the Hypnotension programme is set to take the world by storm.

High blood pressure and hypertension causes 62% of all strokes but almost half of all people with high blood pressure don’t realise they suffer from the condition and are thus at greater risk for stroke. The new and unique programme, Hypnotension, aims to help anyone lower their blood pressure naturally which can cut their risk of stroke in half.

The Hypnotension programme is designed to meet the needs of people with high blood pressure. It puts the patient back in control by identifying and addressing the lifestyle factors that contribute to hypertension. This innovative programme assesses the needs of each client and devises a treatment plan that most effectively addresses the factors that maintain the client’s high blood pressure.

An important new tool in the fight against hypertension, the Hypnotension programme, when delivered correctly, can reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease significantly. There is no better time than World Hypertension Day to take a look at this exciting and innovation new method of controlling hypertension.

The Hypnotension website lists all the Certified Hypnotension Practitioners who are fully trained and licensed to deliver the Hypnotension Programme.

Stroke Awareness Day: May 8th

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
High blood pressure and hypertension causes 62% of all strokes but almost half of all people with high blood pressure don’t realise they suffer from the condition and are thus at greater risk for stroke. A new and unique programme, Hypnotension, aims to help anyone lower their blood pressure naturally and cut their risk of stroke in half.

80% of all strokes are preventable and controlling blood pressure is a key to cutting the risk of stroke. The Hypnotension programme was developed for those with high blood pressure in mind. The programme carefully determines the individual needs of each client and a treatment is devised for that client that provides the most effective method of controlling high blood pressure.

Anyone working within the Hypnotherapy programme deals with a Certified Hypnotherapy Practitioner who helps the client deal with the emotional and lifestyle factors that contribute to high blood pressure. Progress is carefully monitored to ensure the best and most effective treatment possible.

Over 90% of high blood pressure cases have no clear medical cause so doctors are only able to treat the symptoms rather than the underlying causes. Emotional and lifestyle factors exist that doctors simply don’t have the time or the resources to identify and create a unique plan of treatment for.

The Hypnotension programme puts the patient back in control by identifying and addressing the lifestyle factors that contribute to hypertension. The programme uses cognitive techniques and behavioural coaching to make high blood pressure a thing of the past. Factors addressed in the Hypnotension programme include:

• The emotional ‘X-Factors’ that create hypertension
• How much salt a client eats
• How much exercise a client does
• How much alcohol a client drinks
• How overweight a client is

The Hypnotension programme is an important new tool in the fight against hypertension and stroke. Considering that a reduction of just 2.5/1.4mmHg using the Hypnotension programme would lead to a 12-15% reduction in the risk of stroke and a 9-10% reduction in the risk of heart disease it’s easy to see why so many are evaluating and using this programme.
