Whether you are using Shiatsu for help with a chronic condition, to support your current health and fitness program, or simply to complement other aspects of your wellness routine, you will find that it can play an important role in enhancing your health. Shiatsu is useful for stress related disorders, including:

Skeletal-muscular conditions (such as neck, back or hip pain)

Headaches and TMJ pain.

Seasonal affective disorders (SAD)

Menstrual dysfunction and perimenopause life changes.

Depression and anxiety.

Gastrointestinal problems (e.g. digestion, IBS, constipation)

Circulation (esp useful when pain or illness makes exercise difficult)

Many medical insurance plans have massage therapy benefits and so cover this work. I am a preferred provider for many of these plans. If you have been in an auto accident you are covered under your personal injury protection with a referral from your MD, naturopath or chiropractor.
