Do massage therapist get sued for malpractice?

Massage techniques can be dangerous for individuals with certain conditions and they can be dangerous for anyone when those techniques are performed improperly. 

Four ways to avoid a massage client taking legal action against you include:

1-If someone comes to see you with an injury you are not comfortable treating, refer them to the appropriate medical professional.
 
2-Require every client to fill out intake and consent forms.

3-Have clients update their intake forms on an annual basis and when they have a change in their health.
 
4-Design your massage therapy treatment plan around the needs of your client, and document every treatment.
