Muscle Insider Blood Pressure Article

March 15, 2016 by Dr. Ken Kinakin Leave a Comment

Here is an article I wrote for muscle insider last fall on blood pressure. The article reviews what is blood pressure, what is normal and what is abnormal. I discuss the accuracy of home blood pressure units and how to make sure it is accurate. I also talk about the highest blood pressure ever recorded, 480/350 (normal is 120/80), when doing a max leg press.Muscle insider blood pressure1

  • FAQ – I just want to see one presentation, can I pay just to see that?
  • Unfortunately no. We cannot logistically monitor that. You can however purchase the video of the presentation afterwards.
  • FAQ – I can only make it for one day, do you have one day prices? 
  •  Unfortunately no. We cannot set that up with the symposium scheduled to sell out. It is logistically too hard to monitor the numbers.
  • FAQ – I cannot make the symposium, will there be an online streaming of the presentations?
  • At this time no. If I am able to find an inexpensive way to do it with high quality by the fall, that maybe an option. My focus right now is the live event and taking care of the presenters and delegates.
  • FAQ – CEU/ CEC Will there be Continuing Education Units/Credits for the Delegates?
  • Yes. I am applying to Canfit Pro, NSCA, Chiropractic Associations, Massage Therapy Associations.
  • FAQ – I see you are running four presentation streams at the same time. How do I preregister for these sessions?
  • There is no registration for any sessions, you can go to any presentation, and if you change your mind and want to check out another presentation, no problem. You just might have to stand if there is no seats available. Each of the rooms will be able to hold close to 200 people, so it should be alright. We didn’t have any problems in the past when we did it this way. If you want to make sure you get a seat in a certain presentation, show up early. There is 30 minute breaks between each presentation.
  • FAQ – There is more than one presenter I want to see at the same time. How do I deal with this?
  • This is what I call a quality problem. My recommendation is to go to the session where you want to ask a burning question to the presenter. Also the interactive sessions like Dr. David Leaf’s muscle testing presentation would be a good one to go to if that interests you since its hard to learn the specific angle and amount of pressure needed on a video. All the sessions will be professionally videotaped and will be available to the symposium delegates at a massive discount.
