Get in touchWhat is massage therapists insurance?
Massage therapists insurance is a specialist policy that protects practitioners who provide therapeutic, sports and relaxation massage from the risks of hands-on treatment. It typically includes professional indemnity, public liability and products liability.
If a client claims your massage technique caused them an injury, or a product you used triggered an allergic reaction, professional indemnity covers the resulting claim.
