Massage therapist insurance FAQs

Do massage therapists need malpractice insurance?

It's a good idea for massage therapists to have medical malpractice cover. This is why we offer it as part of the insurance package for massage therapists.

What types of massage treatments do you cover?

We cover the most-recognised forms of massage there are, such as shiatsu, hot stone, Thai, aromatherapy, and many more – so from Swedish to sports massage insurance, we’ve got you covered. If you specialise in something niche and are unsure if we cover it, simply speak to one of our advisors via web chat, email or phone.

How much does massage therapist insurance cost?

The cost of massage therapist insurance with Superscript vary depending on the limit of cover you choose, starting at £5 a month.

Do I need to prove my qualifications or licence to operate when buying massage therapist insurance?

We don’t ask for these when you purchase insurance with us, but we recommend keeping your qualifications or licence to operate to hand in case they relate to a claim you’re making.

Do you cover massage therapy students?

Yes, both from early stages to advanced.

Do I need run-off cover as a massage therapist?

Run-off cover protects you for claims made against you for work you’ve done (or, in this case, massages you’ve given) in the past after you’ve ceased trading. So, if you’re thinking about putting away your massage oils and calling it a day, adding run-off cover to your policy may be the security you need in place to protect your future.
