Included in a standard deep tissue massage liability insurance policy:
  • General Liability Insurance
    • This policy covers third-party claims of bodily injury and property damage. It can help pay for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages awarded in a lawsuit.
  • Professional Liability Insurance
    • This policy covers claims of professional misconduct, such as sexual harassment. It can also help protect you if you’re accused of causing physical harm to a client. For instance, if your elbow slips while applying pressure and you aggravate an injury more, you’d be covered. 
  • Personal and Advertising Injury
    • This coverage can help protect you if you’re accused of libel, slander, or false advertising.
  • Damage to Premises Rented to You
    • This coverage can help reimburse you for the cost of repairing or replacing damaged property.
    • If you’re a mobile deep tissue massage therapist, this coverage helps protect you while on the road.

You can upgrade your base deep tissue massage liability insurance with the following additional coverages:

  • Cupping Endorsement
    • This covers claims arising from the use of cupping therapy.
  • Fitness Trainer Endorsement
    • This coverage is needed if you plan to include some form of fitness training such as yoga, dance, or personal training into your business operations. 
  • Acupuncture Endorsement
    • Acupuncture is often used in massage therapy. This coverage can help protect you if acupuncture needles injure a client.
  • Supplies & Tools Coverage
    • Also called Inland Marine insurance, this policy covers the cost of replacing lost or damaged supplies and tools, such as massage tables and oils.
  • Additional Insureds
    • You may need to add additional insureds, such as your employer or the owner of the space where you work. When you add a person, event, or organization to your deep tissue massage therapy insurance policy as an additional insured, they receive protection if they are named in a lawsuit due to a covered business-related loss/claim because of your actions or operations. 
  • Cyber Liability Insurance
    • If you collect or store customer information – names, addresses, even payment information – and that information is stolen or compromised, your business could be held liable. Cyber Liability insurance can protect you from paying hefty fees, judgements, legal cost, fines, and processor fees that you become legally liable to pay.
