While chair massages generally only last 15-20 minutes, you’re just as susceptible to injuries and accidents as other massage therapists.

Our chair massage insurance coverage includes general & professional liability, products & completed operations, personal & advertising injury, and damage to premises rented to you.

The chairs you work with are the key to your business. Your coverage can also include tools and supplies coverage, also known as Inland Marine, to help to cover any damages to your chair or supplies.

How much does chair massage insurance cost?

Insurance for chair massage professionals starts at $9.99/month or $96/year and includes $3 million in general & professional liability coverage.

You can customize your chair massage insurance policy from there. For instance, if you rent the space where you operate your chair, the owner may require you add them as an additional insured. If they are named in a lawsuit due to a covered business-related loss or claim, they receive protection as an additional insured. You can add one additional insured for $15 or unlimited for $30.

You might want to include cupping as a part of your services. A cupping endorsement is available for $35. 

And then there’s your tools and supplies. Add protection for $13 and we’ll provide $2,000 in coverage in case of damage or theft.

Your application can be completed in less time than one of your chair massages takes. Please note you will not qualify for coverage under these prices if your services include any of the excluded methods listed on our site. BBI does not offer monthly payments for chair massage liability insurance.
