Do You Want to Be a Medical Massage Therapist?

Today we are seeing a rise in medical massage therapy in medical settings due to the demand for the practice of combining traditional and alternative medicine.

What is a medical massage therapist?

A medical massage therapist is a licensed massage therapist (LMT) who treats health conditions diagnosed by a doctor.

Medical massage therapists pursue advanced training and experience and work closely with doctors to treat patients who are affected by pain, illness, or injury.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of massage therapists, including medical massage therapists, is expected to grow much faster than average. And one reason is due to advances in medical research related to the use of massage therapy for medical purposes.

Whether your specialty is massage therapy or medical massage therapy you need a policy that is entirely comprehensive; and the American Massage Council (AMC) offers the most affordable and reliable professional liability insurance for massage therapy coverage that checks all of your desired boxes.
AMC insures a wide range of allied healthcare professions, so if you are licensed to practice another healthcare profession, we have you covered.

Ultimately, having professional liability insurance for massage therapy with AMC will offer peace of mind that you will be protected in your day-to-day massage practice so you can do what you love, helping others.

At the American Massage Council, we believe the more we help you, the more you will help others.
