Stress can creep into our lives from so many different directions, such as work, relationships, physical health and especially those scenarios that seem to be out of our control completely. As a massage therapist or bodyworker, you most likely know all too well the effects that stress can have on a person’s health and overall wellness.Regardless of the source of one’s stress, the consequences can range from headaches and negative changes in mood to tense muscles and decreased performance at work. These are only a few of the symptoms of high levels of stress in a person’s life. Obviously, it is important to keep stress in check whenever possible.
For folks in the field of healing touch, one of the main sources of stress may be the business side of massage therapy and bodywork. There are a few simple ways to take much of the stress out of running a business, and restore precious peace of mind. One such method is taking the time to sign up for a solid massage therapy liability insurance program. Such an insurance policy will require a minimal annual fee, which is usually only a couple hundred dollars. For this reasonable price, you will effectively be providing protection to your practice in the case of an array of unexpected scenarios—those scenarios that seem to be out of your control completely.
