What is the level of risk for hypertensive clients

Hello Debbie,
when you work with a client with hypertension, a physician’s approval is required. You need to understand the medications and the possible impact they have on your exercise recommendations.
Clients with well-managed hypertension and no other issues are at very low risk for any exercise program. I tend to avoid isometric contractions for anybody with hypertension.
