Patent ID: 7975543

Claim:
A method for lowering the resting systolic and diastolic blood pressures of a user comprising the following steps: a) measuring a maximum squeeze force (MSF) of a muscle or muscle group of said user; b) inputting an amount of time said user has available (T); c) calculating a fractional squeeze force (FSF) based upon said maximum squeeze force (MSF) and said amount of time said user has available (T); d) directing said user to squeeze to said fractional squeeze force (FSF) for a period of time (T1); e) directing said user to squeeze to a resting squeeze force (RSF) for a second period of time (T2), wherein said resting squeeze force (RSF) is zero or not zero; f) repeating steps (d) and (e); and g) returning to said fractional squeeze force (FSF) for said second period of time (T2).
