Shishonin’s gymnastics for the neck against pressure: how to cure hypertension

Hypertension is a problem that worries many. There are a number of reasons that can lead to its appearance. One of them is pinching the vessels of the cervical spine. In this case, the method of treating hypertension by Dr. Alexander Yuryevich Shishonin, which is his author’s development and involves regular performance of simple gymnastics, can be very useful.

How are hypertension and neck related?

Many modern people work in sedentary jobs and lead a sedentary lifestyle. The entire body suffers from this, in particular the human cardiovascular system. Insufficient physical activity can cause circulatory disorders and diseases such as arterial hypertension. What happens if we spend several hours sitting, bending over papers or a computer?

First of all, without activity and movement, the back and neck become numb. Possible pain and limited mobility. All this provokes muscle spasm, which leads to pinching of nerve endings and blood vessels. You will immediately feel that the nerve endings and blood vessels are suffering - the body will let you know about this with pain in the back and neck.

But as for insufficient blood supply, this is not always noticeable. Even if a person experiences very severe headaches, fatigue and dizziness, deterioration in concentration and memory, he will find the cause of this in fatigue, and not in a stiff neck.

But Dr. Shishonin is sure that this is the reason, and that if the brain does not receive enough blood, oxygen starvation begins. This provokes an increase in intracranial pressure, which in turn is a direct path to hypertension. Regularly performed exercises by Dr. Shishonin for hypertension will help prevent the development of this pathology and maintain normal well-being.

What is profitable for the pharmacy, but not for us?

The heart of the unfortunate patient is between a rock and a hard place - on the one hand, the body, represented by the brain, gives the pump a command to build up pressure in the hydraulic system, and on the other, the heart is slammed with chemicals so that it does not do this. As a result of such contradictory commands, a person gradually develops arrhythmia and tachycardia. That is why the absolute statistical leader in hypertensive mortality is a heart attack, and not a stroke - the heart simply cannot withstand such mockery.

Already 15 years ago in Russia, the reason for the increase in blood pressure in an aging body was discovered, and several tens of thousands of patients were even completely cured of hypertension (their blood pressure is maintained at normal levels without medications). But WHO still recommends putting people on “wheels,” a sudden refusal of which can even lead to death. At the same time, the number of prescribed drugs in some patients reaches 30 - such a poor fellow will die, if not from a heart attack, then from drug-induced cirrhosis of the liver! Of course, this is beneficial for the pharmacy. But do you and I need this?

Nightmare at dawn. Why do fever and hypertension strike at night? In 2021, a total of 60 million people died on the planet. Of these, 20 million are from the consequences of hypertension. Every third! And the number of hypertensive patients is growing, and hypertension is getting younger. According to the same WHO recommendations, even children are put on pills that do not cure, but only relieve symptoms. At what fork in the road did modern medicine take a wrong turn?

Medicine took the necessary turn when it decided that hypertension was a disease. Meanwhile, increased blood pressure, as well as increased temperature, inflammation, pain, and snot are not diseases, but just a nonspecific reaction of the body to some pathological factor. But no one says that there is a “painful disease” or a “snotty disease”, which also needs to be dealt with symptomatically, for example, by plugging the nostrils with plugs. But the jump in pressure that the body organizes for itself was taken and with criminal ease called an independent hypertension! Well, since it’s a disease (and not a symptom), we’ll treat it! And they treat, although, in fact, they cripple.

The first person to draw attention to such an illogical state of affairs was Doctor Alexander Shishonin, Candidate of Medical Sciences. He treated cervical osteochondrosis in his clinic until he noticed that along with the straightened vertebrae, his patients’ hypertension also disappeared. Having become interested in and having cured tens of thousands of patients from the “killer of the century,” Shishonin became firmly established in an idea, the simplicity of which for some time he himself could not believe.

Gymnastics for hypertension Shishonin: what is the point?

A. Shishonin’s gymnastics for hypertension were developed almost ten years ago. This happened at the Bubnovsky Rehabilitation Center, which is why this method of treatment is also sometimes called exercises for Bubnovsky’s hypertension. Essentially it's the same thing.

Alexander Shishonin, observing patients of different ages with various diagnoses, concluded that the cause of most health problems is circulatory disorders. If the blood circulates well, then the organs and tissues receive enough oxygen and the nutritional components they need, which is the key to their full functioning. At the same time, with constant tension in the neck muscles, blood circulation to the brain is disrupted, resulting in pain, migraines and high blood pressure.

Thanks to simple exercises, the neck muscles relax and blood circulation is restored. Accordingly, most of the diseases go away.

Indications for performing Dr. Shishonin’s gymnastics for hypertension are as follows:

Osteochondrosis of the cervical back;
Vegetative-vascular dystonia;
Frequent migraines and headaches;
Drowsiness or sleep disturbance;
Memory impairment;
Impaired concentration.

A set of exercises will be especially useful for people who spend a lot of time in a sitting position, often experience stress and do not eat particularly well.
An important condition in performing exercises is regularity. At the beginning of therapy, during the first 2-3 weeks, you need to repeat them every day. In the future, when the pressure normalizes and the unpleasant symptoms become weaker, you can perform gymnastics for prevention 2-3 times a week.

The complex includes seven simple exercises that you can do even at your workplace. They only need to spend 15-20 minutes, and they are suitable for both elderly patients and people who are overweight.

Shishonin's exercises for hypertension are very simple, but at the same time effective. Numerous reviews of the treatment of hypertension with this method can confirm this. The gymnastics developed by this specialist has a number of advantages:

It is easy to perform and suitable for people with a low level of preparedness.
Exercise is not harmful to health. All movements in them are smooth and accurate, which prevents various damage.
The complex takes little time - on average no more than 20 minutes.
The muscles become more elastic due to exercise. After just a couple of lessons, you will be able to turn your head in any direction without using your torso.
Thanks to the regularly performed complex, you will be able to eliminate spasmodic pain in the neck muscles, forget about headaches, normalize blood pressure and get rid of a number of unpleasant symptoms.

The benefits of Shishonin gymnastics

The main benefit of the author's exercises according to Dr. Shishonin is to strengthen and increase the tone of the neck muscles, restore blood circulation and tissue nutrition. In addition, brain function improves, spasms and muscle tension are eliminated.

Treatment of hypertension from Dr. Shishonin: gymnastics

The secrets of treating hypertension from Dr. Shishonin involve a doctor-developed method that includes gymnastics. It involves performing several exercises. Let's look at how to do them:

Exercise "Metronome" . While sitting, slowly tilt your head down and slightly pull the crown of your head towards one of the shoulder joints. As soon as you feel tension, freeze for half a minute. Then return to the starting position and repeat the exercise on the other side. This and other exercises must be repeated five times.
Exercise "Spring" . Lower your head and freeze for half a minute. Then pull your neck forward a little and point it upward. Freeze again for half a minute.
Exercise “Looking at the Sky” . You need to turn your head to the side until you feel discomfort. Now freeze for 30 seconds and repeat the exercise in the opposite direction.
Exercise "Frame" . It is performed in the same way as the previous one, but when performing it, the shoulders are also involved. Place your left hand on your right shoulder. In this case, you need to place your elbow parallel to the floor. Relax your right hand completely. Do the same for the other side.
Exercise "Fakir" . Here you need to repeat the movement from the “Looking at the Sky” exercise. Only it is supplemented by bending the elbows, as well as squeezing the palms above the head.

Exercise "Heron". Place your palms on your knees. Then gently pull your chin up while placing your hands behind your back. Stay in this position for half a minute. Then do some light stretching. Tilt your head towards your shoulder and lightly press on your neck with your hand while performing the exercise in the opposite direction.
Exercise "Goose" . The last exercise of the complex is performed in a standing position, not sitting. Fix your chin so that it is parallel to your toes. Then stretch your neck forward. Turn your head to the side and reach it towards your shoulder. If you feel a slight pain, freeze for half a minute. The exercise is performed in the same way in the other direction.

The proposed complex is recommended to be performed every day. Once you get rid of pain, reduce the number of classes to three times a week. With such an intensity of exercise, you will soon be able to forget about hypertension.

Further, Shishonin’s method of treating hypertension involves strengthening a set of exercises with a special massage , which can be done without outside help. To complete it you need to carry out the following steps:

First you need to perform stroking movements of the occipital region. Now move smoothly to the shoulders, shoulder blades and spine.
Massage the cervical vertebrae with circular movements.
You need to grab your neck with one hand. The thumb should be on one side, the rest on the other. Perform massaging movements with light pinching.
Now you need to stretch the front part. Using light strokes, treat the area from the chin to the collarbones.
The last action is performed on the occipital region of the neck.

How hands help open the chest

Another technique is based on the same abdominal breathing. It is necessary, when inhaling, to leave the same key mental image - the movement of energy inside the body, the passage of air into the stomach. In the body, everything will happen in a similar way: due to the expansion of the lower part of the lungs, more absorbed oxygen will be sent to the brain.

The main difference is that you need to complete the movement with your hands. While inhaling, you need to slowly lift them up from your stomach, and then, when your hands are closer to shoulder level, begin to move them apart, describing two wide symmetrical arcs.

It is enough to try this exercise at least once to be convinced of its main positive effect. Due to the movement of the arms, not only the lower, but also the upper part of the chest expands. Of course, in this case, the body manages to absorb and receive even more oxygen in one breath.

Towards the top point, both hands are at the top, above the level of the head, on both sides of it.
Immediately after this, you need to exhale and also feel the process. It should bring relief, like the release of some kind of load, heaviness.
Simultaneously with exhalation, both hands freely descend vertically down on both sides.
After this, before a new breath begins, the hands are at their lowest point, located close to each other and ready to repeat the cycle.

So, upon completion of the exhalation, you need to feel as much as possible how it brought relief, how the heaviness went away. But there is a fundamental difference here from the first exercise, which was described above. Namely, you need to count ten seconds and maintain one position not while inhaling, but while exhaling.

Having completely relaxed, you should count from one to ten. Only after this does a new breath begin - the cycle repeats. At the same time, the hands begin to move upward from the stomach.
