Scenar Therapy Insurance
Scenar therapy is a holistic form of treatment which stimulates the nervous system and teaches it to heal itself. Electrical impulses, the parameters of which are similar to endogenous nerve impulses, are transmitted through the skin to the nervous system. Fast-reacting, informational biofeedback means that each impulse is different from the previous one.

Which type of Salon Gold policy do I need?
Do I Really Need Insurance For Scenar Therapy?
As a profession, Scenar Therapy is relatively low risk but you do need to protect yourself and your business. In today’s world, people are increasingly ready to take legal proceedings for compensation and the incidence of claims against therapists is on the increase. The unexpected can and sometimes does happen and the price of our liability insurance cover is a tiny fraction of the likely cost of a claim.

Treatment Risk

Our freelance and mobile policy provides:

- Cover for injury to clients whilst carrying out treatments or providing treatment advice
- Cover whether you work from a salon, a clinic, from home or on a mobile basis

Financial Loss
£10,000 or £50,000
The public liability section of your policy will provide cover for third party injury and property damage caused by your negligence. But what if a client suffered a financial loss not caused by injury or property damage? Not a problem, we have included a valuable extension in our policies to ensure you are fully protected.
Also known as the Non–Injury Treatment Extension, your Salon Gold freelance policy will automatically provide cover if a client or member of the public suffers a financial loss as a result of work or a treatment carried out by you in connection with your business.
So for example, a client has a reaction to a treatment which did not cause an injury but turns their hair green or discolours their skin and they are unable to work as a result. They may not accept your offer of a refund and may not want you to rectify the damage. Instead, they may make a claim against you for their lost earnings. If the client’s loss of earnings was a direct result of your professional negligence, this extension will provide cover for you.
The standard limit under the policy is £10,000 but can be increased to £50,000 for an additional premium. There is a £1,000 excess (or 10% of the claim, whichever is greater) in respect of this cover.
