BBI is the coverage you need
While injuring a client is rare, the odds are good that at some point in your career a client will claim you injured, or in some cases re-injured them. Liability risks include a client falling off the table or tripping in your salon resulting in injury. If these, or other incidents like them happen, you could be forced to pay their medical expenses out of your own pocket.
Purchasing Swedish massage insurance from Beauty & Bodywork Insurance (BBI), shields you from risks that come with being in the business.
What is Swedish massage insurance?
Also known as public liability insurance, Swedish massage liability insurance protects you and your business from liability claims. You aim to release muscle tension and promote relaxation. But some patients may react poorly to your methods. For example, if a client suffers an allergic reaction from the lotion you use while performing the effleurage technique, our Swedish massage insurance covers you.
Coverage includes general & professional liability, products & completed operations, personal & advertising injury, and damage to premises rented to you. You can add tools and supplies coverage to help to cover any damages to the equipment that helps you relax clients, stimulate nerve endings, increase blood flow, and more.
What is included in Swedish massage insurance?
Included in a standard Swedish massage 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, while kneading a client looking to relieve stress from work, you may slip and injure a muscle. Professional liability would cover you.
- 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 Swedish massage therapist, this coverage helps protect you while on the road.

Additionally, you can opt to include the additional coverages to your Swedish massage liability insurance:

- 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 Swedish 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.
