The method in this study employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-randomized pretest-posttest control group design approach. The sample of this study were patients with primary hypertension aged 45-54 years who received regular treatment at UPTD Kesehatan (Health Unit) in Blitar City area, as many as 101 patients (51 treatment groups, 50 control groups). The inclusion criteria of patients were having a systolic blood pressure of 140-180 mmHg and diastolic 90-100 mmHg, obtaining a maximum of 2 standard antihypertensive treatments and not smoking.

Back massage can be performed alone by patients with hypertension every week for 20 minutes each massage.
