International Kinesiology Association

The International Kinesiology Association is designed to offer Kinesiologists the benefits you most need:

  • Practice Building Support (Informative Articles and Referral Network)
  • Safety & Security for you and your clients (Best Liability Insurance coverage in the industry)
  • Cost Reductions (lowest association membership rates anywhere)

And when you join the International Kinesiology Association as a practicing/teaching member, the Kinesiology Liability Insurance policy also covers you for all the other holistic modalities you are qualified to practice as if you joined all our other affiliated associations (with the exception of estheticians).

Our Kinesiology Liability Insurance (malpractice, general, and product liability insurance policy) is the best the industry can offer and our membership rates are the lowest for any association offering a comparable policy with membership.

We may not have the lots of pretty pictures on our web site or a fancy full color magazine, but we do have what you need most, the most appropriate and most affordable professional liability insurance plan, underwritten by the top insurer in our field. We challenge you to find any association that offers you the same coverage for less money.
