Massage Therapy Liability Insurance: What Kind of a Lawsuit?

Massage Therapy Liability Insurance: What Kind of a Lawsuit?

Why do massage therapists need massage therapist insurance coverage?

While massage therapy offers numerous benefits, it also carries the potential for legal and financial risks.

There are several ways a massage therapist can cause injuries to a client, including failure to:

Diagnose the injury,

Treat an injury properly, or cause new injuries,

Adequately trained and supervised staff,

Use of appropriate sanitary massage equipment,

Ask for the client’s medical history or pre-massage evaluation, and

Use of defective or improperly maintained equipment.

As a massage therapist, you must protect yourself; only the best massage therapist insurance coverage will do!

The American Massage Council offers the most affordable and reliable professional liability insurance for massage therapy coverage and more.
