The purpose of this study is determining effects of relaxation imagery, walking and their combination on decrease blood pressure. In all, 30 patient with a diagnosis of essential hypertension (repeated clinic recordings for more than three months of 140/90 mm. Hg. Or higher were voluntarily selected who were \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"between\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" 45 to 65 with average age of (54.5 ±9.5) years old. They were divided to 3 equal groups of training. The groups were consisted of: Relaxation imagery group performed 30minutes relaxation imagery daily. Walking group performed 30minutes walking daily. Combination group performed 15 minutes relaxation imagery and 15 minutes walking daily. Blood pressure was measured with mercurous indicator both in pre and post stage of executing the experiment. This protocol was performed for two weeks. Then for analysis of data it has been used from ANOVA & t-test. Result showed that Relaxation imagery was significant on decrease systolic blood pressure (p=0/025, t = 2.689).Mild exercise (Walking) was significant on decrease systolic blood pressure (p=0/015, t=3/000).Compound method was no significant on decrease systolic blood pressure (p=0/081, t=1/964). Relaxation imagery was significant on decrease diastolic blood pressure (p=0/037, t=2/449).Walking was no significant on decrease diastolic blood pressure (p=0/081, t=1/964).Combination method was significant on decrease diastolic blood pressure (p=0/015, t=3/000).The difference among three groups was no significant (p>0/05).
