Hypertension is an increase in blood pressure with systolic above 140 mmHg and diastolic above 90 mmHg. One of the non-pharmacological methods to lower blood pressure is to do isometric handgrip exercise and slow deep breathing exercise. The purpose of this case study is to evaluate blood pressure by implementing isometric handgrip exercise and slow deep breathing exercise toward hypertensive patients within five day of training (twice per day). There were two hipertensive patients involvid in this study. The results of this case study showed that the blood pressure of both patients dropped to normal. The firt patients blood pressure dropped to normal from 160/100 mmHg to 130/80 mmHg after the intervention. Similarly, the second patients blood pressure reduced from 170/100 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg. This study conclusion that the isometric handgrip exercise and slow deep breathing exercise can lower blood pressure.Keywords: Hypertension; Isometric Handgrip; Slow Deep Breathing AbstrakHipertensi adalah peningkatan tekanan darah dengan sistolik diatas 140 mmHg dan diastolik diatas 90 mmHg.salah satu tindakan nonfarmakologi yang dapat menurunkan tekanan darah adalah dengan melakukan latihan isometric handgrip exercise dan slow deep breathing exercise. Tujuan dilakukannya penerapan studi kasus ini adalah untuk menurunkan tekanan darah dengan menggunakan latihan isometric handgrip exercise dan slow deep breathing exercise pada keluarga dengan hipertensi. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan penerapan latihan isometric handgrip exercise dan slow deep breathing exercise. Hasil dari studi kasus ini menunjukkan adanya penurunan tekanan darah pada klien I dan II yang disertai dengan penurunan rasa nyeri, klien I dengan tekanan darah 160/100 mmHg turun menjadi 130/80 mmHg dan klien II dengan tekanan darah 170/100 mmHg turun menjadi 120/80 mmHg. Kesimpulan dari penerapan isometric handgrip exercise dan slow deep breathing exercise adalah bahwa penerapan latihan isometric handgrip exercise dan slow deep breathing exercise dapat menurunkan tekanan darah selama 5 hari latihan dengan 2 kali pertemuan setiap harinya.Kata kunci: Hipertensi; Isometric Handgrip; Slow Deep Breathing
