Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Atherosclerosis is related to other conditions such as hypertension, high cholesterol levels, and diabetes, among others. This means that treatment planning should take into account the recommendations for each specific disease. Allowing adequate time for rest and recovery is also important, but there is no need to reduce sessions to 30 minutes or less or avoid all deep pressure or circulatory techniques. However, it is important to avoid direct pressure over areas with existing arterial plaque or aneurysms.
