The ESF exists to promote:
* the development of professional education and standards of practice
* ongoing research into the effectiveness and benefits of Shiatsu.
* practical and social exchange between Shiatsu professionals in Europe.
The European Shiatsu Federation, the "ESF", is non-party, nondenominational and non profit-making.
The main objective of the ESF is to advance Shiatsu as a healing therapy throughout Europe and to promote high standards of professional practice.
It aims to establish throughout Europe the legal right to practice Shiatsu as an independent, self-regulating health-care method, legally available as a first choice treatment option to the public. Also to establish, and to revise from time to time, procedures for the mutual recognition of professional practitioners, teachers and schools between member associations.
