Professional Liability Insurance You Can Trust

In an accident you call us first, not an insurance company—we don't leave you to face a difficult situation alone. With ABMP you have individual liability insurance coverage, so all policy limits are yours and not subject to a master policy limit. There's no extra charge for Additional Insured Endorsements, and you can even add optional Business Personal Property insurance to protect your equipment.

Want to keep your skills sharp and learn new techniques? The ABMP Education Center gives members free CE for 200+ on-demand webinars from top presenters like Ruth Werner, Ben Benjamin, and Erik Dalton. Plus, ABMP Certified members get even more, with an additional 400+ free CE hours.

Expert Assistance at Your Fingertips

Our members-only, quick-reference apps are fun to use and full of information you can use in your practice. ABMP Five-Minute Muscles delivers muscle-specific palpation and technique videos, plus actions, origins, and insertions, for the muscles most commonly addressed by bodyworkers. And ABMP Pocket Pathology, created in conjunction with Ruth Werner, provides quick info to help you make treatment decisions for your clients.

Big Savings = Happy Members

Every dollar counts, which is why our discounts save you money on massage tables, chairs, and lotions for your practice, shoes and healthy food for your family, and other everyday expenses. Practicing self-care with a vacation, or shopping for cell phone service? You'll save there too.
