Accidents and Other Loss Events Can and Do Happen

Practitioners of massage therapy reflexology may not consider their practice involved enough to be able to ever have a claim filed against them. Sadly, costly claims can happen in the most mundane fashion. An elderly patient tripping on a bit of loose carpeting, another claiming a session left them in pain, or a property owner claiming you or your students damaged rented property can all easily be cause enough for a claim to be filed. Even if a claim is frivolous, court costs to defend yourself can quickly jump into the thousands of dollars, putting professional and personal finances at serious risk. To protect your ability to continue to practice, reflexologists should always carry an adequate level of reflexology liability insurance. 

Reflexology Insurance Coverage

After many successful years in the business of providing massage insurance, Massage Magazine Insurance Plus listened to our customers to include even more modalities, adding healing arts practices like reflexology and other forms of healing touch therapy. We also continue to add additional modalities so be sure to contact us if you don’t see your specific practice listed. We want you to be able to focus on continuing to help people through your specific, beneficial practice, rather than having to worry about the possibility of a future uncertainty interrupting your day-to-day practice. That’s why MMIP reflexology insurance coverage offers some of the most robust protection in the industry, includes an array of additional benefits, and is more affordable than most of the other plans available on the market today. We want you to be successful and help you stay prepared no matter what the universe may throw your way. 

Below we’ll break down a few of the key highlights of MMIP’s massage insurance policies:

• Industry-Leading Coverage + Incredibly Low Premiums: 

One year of coverage is normally only $169, but new customers receive an introductory rate of $159. The two-year policy is only $279, a $48 savings over buying two, one-year terms. We also offer student reflexology student insurance at the affordable rate of just $25 for an entire year.

Additional Benefits of Having Reflexology Insurance

For any practitioner of the healing arts, it’s vital to have the proper coverage in the event of a loss or injury claim. Our policies come with robust coverage for both professional liability, which is also referred to as malpractice, as it occurs as a result of your treatment, and general liability, which is commonly known as “slip and fall” insurance for its association with this type of injury giving rise to a claim. Going far beyond this, MMIP’s reflexology insurance coverages have rolled in additional coverages like product liability. Your continued success is our way of life. So we’ve also partnered with some of the best names in the industry to offer you exclusive, members-only discounts on the best gear available, offer free online NCBTMB continuing education, supply an awesome professional website, and even set you up with an identity protection plan.

Ways To Minimize the Chances of a Claim

While you can never eliminate every contingency for a claim being filed, you can take proactive steps to minimize the chances of a claim ever being filed. Step one is to learn more about reflexology insurance coverage from MMIP. We’re here to help guide you so you can make the best decision for you and your practice. Once you have the peace of mind of a MMIP reflexology insurance policy with instant proof of coverage, take these few steps to help minimize your chances of a claim:

1. Keep your studio/place of business safe, clean, and accessible.

You are required by law to provide a reasonable level of security for any visitors to your business. This can be as simple as installing security lights, padlocks, and/or alarms. As well, keeping your business clean and tidy will lower the odds of a claim-event occurring. Not maintaining a clean environment could mean something like a small spill causes a patient to slip and fall, opening you up for a general liability claim.

2. Communicate with patients before, during, and after the sessions. Address any concerns before they become major.

A patient who has a specific injury or illness that can be exacerbated by a reflexology massage should never be pushed beyond their limits and special care should be exhibited. Learn the patient’s history before treatments, talk them through the procedure, listen while you’re treating them, and then be sure to follow-up after to ensure your patient leaves feeling better than when they arrived. It is critical to always properly document patient communications.

3. Protect Your Data

In a world of where cybertheft is becoming the norm, business owners need to be mindful of ways to protect their identity from being compromised. Your MMIP reflexology insurance coverage includes Identity Protection but you should consider additional safeguards for your personal and sensitive information to ensure it isn’t stolen. 

4. Be especially mindful for children and elderly patients

Children and the elderly are most susceptible to being injured during a healing hands treatment. Even experienced reflexologists, giving patients their utmost attention can still have instances of pushing a patient too far or not asking the right questions ahead of time to avoid a potential issue. When it comes to these demographics, the patient may not be as able to articulate a particular issue. Make sure you exercise proper preparation before beginning any treatment session.
