INSURANCE THAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU

Are you an expert massage therapist looking for insurance? As a massage therapist, whether it be a student or qualified expert, you manage clients in need on a daily basis helping to support their health and well-being. Unfortunately, accidents happen even for the most experienced massage therapists and you could be liable for the consequences.

Expert Insurance for Massage Therapists

For most massage therapists, the most rewarding element of the job is improving clients health and well-being, especially when you’ve seen a long-standing client’s quality of life improve drastically as a direct result of your work. However, we understand one of the most worrying aspects of the role is what happens when something goes wrong. Just like any profession which is based on physical work, risks come hand-in-hand. For example, a client could allege that you’ve acted negligently which aggravated the pre-existing condition or you accidentally damaged an item in their home if you were on a mobile visit. Other risks need to be considered too, such as, if a client has an allergic reaction to the massage creams or oils, or someone slips over on some spilt oil. Massage insurance protects both you, your staff, your client’s, as well as equipment and stock from accidents like these.

Why do I need massage therapy insurance?

Whether you are a student or qualified, self-employed or a salon owner, yourself and/or your employees have direct exposure to clients and will be providing a service which involves manipulating soft body tissue. Your responsibilities may include, but not be limited to:

Massaging and manipulating soft body tissues to improve medical conditions, injuries and/or general well-being and health.
Discussing with clients their medical histories and their current pain points to address and identify how massage will aid support.
Be responsible for maintaining and updating treatment reports.
Frequently assess the client’s condition to establish progress and help diagnosis further treatment.
Develop and create tailored massage treatment plans.
Provide expert and professional advice.
Liaise with other healthcare professionals when necessary to assist with the development and creation of treatment plans.
Prepare and blend massage oils and/or creams necessary for the treatment.

A client could claim if a mistake has occurred during treatment, false advice has been given or there has been a mishandling of confidential data for example. Massage therapy coverage provides protection for yourself but also gives your clients reassurance knowing you have invested in protecting their interests.

Our standard insurance covers:

Public liability: This type of insurance covers injury to another person whether that be within the business premises or within a client’s home. It also covers damage caused to the client’s property during a visit to their home.
Product liability: This insurance covers you in the event that a product sold by yourself causes damage or harm to the client.
Treatment liability: This insurance covers you in case a client claims you have caused them injury or illnesses as a result of the treatment you provided.
