According to research conducted by the Shiatsu Society in the UK that surveyed shiatsu users in Britain, Austria and Spain, people gravitate towards shiatsu for a myriad of reasons. Up to 33 percent of respondents tried shiatsu "out of curiosity” while 39 to 59 percent of respondents had a shiatsu massage "to do something for one's self” or for "personal development.” The study also revealed that respondents used shiatsu to help with various health maladies including problems with muscles or joints, back pain and posture, digestion, breathing and blood pressure, low energy, fatigue, menstrual pain, reduce use of conventional medication, relieving stress and promoting relaxation. Shiatsu can also be a catalyst for people to increase or improve their daily health habits.
