I picked up a shoulder/bicep injury getting a massage in Morocco (stop tittering at the back) and it only became bad once I got home. The holiday was in Feb. Is it possible to claim on travel insurance? Having claimed for a lost watch on travel ins previously, i know the ask just prohibitively long list of daft questions, so who knows what they will ask for a larger potential claim.

Well I can't very well take a weird little hairy Moroccan massage bloke to the uk small claims court can I? So, does travel insurance cover this type of thing?

What are you actually claiming for?

  1. How do you know the massage was the cause of the injury?
  2. What are your actual losses?
  3. What does the policy say

I read the OP expecting some kind of follow up/second part subsequent to the injury. However, it appears there is/was none. As such the most pertinent questions are:

Well I'm having to pay for physio for a start, and gym membership I can't make full use of.

Is it possible to pick up a bicep injury during a massage, perhaps the OP could describe what the hairy little man did to him?
