Do massage therapists get sued?

Massage therapy provides numerous healing benefits; however, that therapy also has the potential to present legal and financial risks.

Some examples of injuries that could lead to legal action against a massage therapist include:

A client accused her massage therapist caused nerve damage and severe pain, possibly due to too much pressure during the massage.

A client received second-degree burns from hot stones.

A client fell out of her massage chair and hit her head on the door.

Each of these situations can result in lawsuits and medical claims.

The only answer for reducing risks in your massage therapy practice is massage therapy insurance which can help protect you financially from mishaps, lawsuits, or other claims.

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