How Much Does Insurance for Massage Therapists Cost?

If you are looking for quotes for your massage business, we would be happy to help. There are many factors that go into determining how much a business owner will pay for coverage, such as the types of therapy you provide, where your massage business is located, and whether or not you have employees. If you travel to your client’s homes, this could also impact the cost of what you will pay for insurance coverage. By requesting a quote from us, we can gather more details on the type of your business to see what coverages you may need.

What types of Massage Therapy Businesses Need Insurance Coverage?

As a professional massage therapist, you spend your day helping people de-stress. Trying to find appropriate coverage for your massage therapy business can be just the opposite. If you are wondering if your business even needs insurance, consider what would happen if a client brought legal action against you. Would you have enough saved to cover your legal fees? Massage therapy businesses that should consider insuring their business include but are not limited to:

Sports massage therapy

Chair massage therapy

Medical Massage therapy

Massage spas

Day spas

Self-Employed massage therapists

Aquatic Bodywork

General Liability Insurance for Massage Therapy Businesses

With all the different types if business insurance available, which ones should a massage therapist consider? Typically, a general liability policy can give you financial protection if a client is accidentally hurt. If a client trips and falls in your space, or if a client injures themselves on a piece of equipment, they could decide to bring legal action against you. General liability insurance generally will also cover property damage. If you perform massage therapy services on someone else’s property, they may require you to have a general liability policy in place.

Commercial Auto Insurance

If you travel to different locations for your massage therapy business, a commercial auto policy can help protect your vehicle. Commercial auto policies typically have higher coverage limits than personal policies. If you already have a commercial auto policy in place, reviewing it with a local agent to see if it appropriately covers your massage therapy business is a smart move.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance for Spas and Massage Therapists

Depending on what state your spa or massage studio is located in, if you have employees, workers’ compensation may be a requirement. A workers’ compensation policy can help your employees that are injured or become ill because of work related events by covering things like medical bills, emergency room visits, and ongoing care costs. Policies can vary, so it is always good practice to review them with your local insurance agent.
