The IAMBP is one of the most established and respected programs within the massage therapy profession. It was originally created to address the increasing costs associated with malpractice insurance. Initially developed as a program exclusive to California, it expanded to serve practitioners across the United States in the early 1990s. In recent years, IAMBP has consistently offered one of the most cost-effective and dependable insurance plans available nationwide.
The IAMBP program is supported by Allied Professionals Insurance Company, a Risk Retention Group, Inc., which is a recognized leader in providing liability insurance for professionals in alternative health care. Allied holds high financial stability ratings: A Prime (Unsurpassed) from Demotech and A- (Excellent) from AM Best. Equally important, the Allied team demonstrates a strong commitment to the massage field and possesses the knowledge and experience necessary to protect and assist policyholders in the event of a claim or legal issue.
Our main goal is to create a safe and trustworthy environment where massage therapy professionals and clients can connect with confidence. We are committed to simplifying the verification process by ensuring that all practitioners are certified by the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) and the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB), and that every client holds a Trusted Client Certificate issued by IAMBP.
IAMBP is dedicated to cultivating a secure and reliable environment for massage therapy professionals and their clients. Through comprehensive verification and adherence to recognized industry standards, we uphold professional integrity and ensure confidence and peace of mind for all participants.
