Many people use shiatsu as ongoing care, coming about once a month to keep their energy in balance and to support their health and well-being.

Some private insurers do offer coverage for shiatsu. Health Shield is one of the Health Insurance companies who have this kind of service. We suggest that a claimant check with their private insurance plan or extended health care coverage first to see if they offer this coverage.
