The International Massage Association was founded in 1994 after the founder, Will Green, realized how difficult it was for his massage students to get liability insurance.  IMA was created with the goal of providing every massage therapist with the insurance they need to stay protected.  Over ten years and 70,000 members later, the International Massage Association is well on its way to realizing that goal.
