PRESS RELEASE
“Shiatsu Shown to Improve Health”
Recent research carried out by the University of Leeds on behalf of the European Shiatsu Federation establishes that Shiatsu massage treatment:
Improves health and wellbeing
Is safe
Can benefit specific conditions
Suggests a role for Shiatsu in public health
The study, carried out by Professor A.F. Long of the School of Healthcare, took place in Austria, Spain and the UK in 2006 and 2007.
Research Results:
Increased relaxation and a sense of calm
Being more energised
Being better able to cope
A reduction of symptoms of stress and tension
Improvement of problems with muscles and joints, including back-pain and postural misalignments
Improvement of energy and reduction of fatigue
Overall improvement in, and confidence about health
Motivation to make positive lifestyle changes particularly with regard to diet and exercise
Improved psychological wellbeing
Changes to the use of conventional medicine and medication
Some Health Policy Implications
A potential role for Shiatsu in public health is strongly suggested due to its ability to improve general wellbeing, increase health awareness, and promote good health.
Most importantly, Shiatsu poses no significant risks to clients, the positive benefits are maintained over time, and there is a reduction in the use of conventional medicine, medication and working time lost due to ill health. These are indicative of an added value and potential economic benefit from Shiatsu treatment.
