Whether you exclusively offer cupping therapy or incorporate it alongside other complementary treatments, our policies provide the comprehensive protection you need to practice with confidence.

We’ve been working with businesses like yours for over 40 years.

Our comprehensive Cupping Therapy Insurance includes essential coverages specifically designed to protect practitioners in your field:
This crucial coverage protects you if a client or member of the public suffers an injury or property damage related to your business activities. Our standard policies include £3 million in public liability protection, with options to increase to £5 million if required.
If you sell or supply products to your clients, such as cupping sets for home use, oils, or aftercare products, this coverage protects you if these items cause injury or adverse reactions. This is particularly relevant for practitioners who formulate their own oils or recommend specific products as part of treatment protocols.
Also known as professional indemnity insurance, this vital coverage specifically protects against claims arising from the professional services you provide. For cupping therapists, this includes allegations that your treatment directly resulted in a client’s injury, skin damage, or exacerbation of an existing condition.
This protects you against claims for purely economic losses that don’t involve physical injury or property damage. We automatically include £10,000 of financial loss coverage in our policies.
We also offer several optional covers that many cupping therapists find valuable:
Provides financial support if you’re unable to work due to an injury, whether sustained during treatment sessions or in your personal life.
Covers your valuable cupping sets, sterilisation equipment, treatment tables, and other tools against damage, theft, or loss.
If you employ assistants or administrative staff, this coverage is legally required and protects you against claims from employees who are injured or become ill as a result of working for you.
All our policies are customisable to your specific professional activities, ensuring your coverage matches your unique needs as a cupping therapy practitioner.
Our Cupping Therapy Insurance is designed for qualified practitioners working across the UK, including:
If you combine cupping with other holistic or complementary therapies, we can create a comprehensive policy that covers all aspects of your professional practice, ensuring there are no gaps in your protection.
Cupping therapy, while generally considered safe when performed by qualified practitioners, carries inherent risks that make professional insurance essential. Without insurance, you could be personally liable for settling any claim for compensation for injury, property damage or poor advice. The cost of defending such a claim can be thousands of pounds in legal fees alone.

As a physical therapy that involves direct contact with clients’ skin and bodies, cupping presents specific liability concerns.
Get a QuoteThe distinctive marks and bruising that cupping naturally creates can sometimes lead to misunderstanding and claims, even when the treatment has been performed correctly. The cost of defending a claim, even when you have done nothing wrong, can be significant.
During the course of a treatment, if you were to damage a client’s clothing or drop something on their smart phone for example, they would expect you to replace the item. This is when your insurer can come to the rescue.
Even the most skilled practitioners using proper techniques can face such claims. Without appropriate insurance, defending yourself could cost thousands in legal fees alone, even if you’re ultimately not found at fault.

To obtain our Cupping Therapy Insurance, we typically require evidence of formal training in cupping techniques from a recognised institution. The exact requirements may vary depending on the types of cupping you practice, with techniques like fire cupping generally requiring more specialised credentials. If you’re currently completing your certification, our student policies can provide coverage during your training period.
Yes, our Cupping Therapy Insurance can cover various cupping methods, including traditional fire cupping, vacuum cupping, wet cupping, and massage cupping techniques. When applying for insurance, you should specify all the cupping methods you practice to ensure comprehensive coverage.
When a claim is made against you, our priority is providing swift, supportive guidance through the process. Upon notification of a potential claim, our specialised claims team will work directly with you to gather all relevant information and documentation.
