Certified Massage Therapist

Job Description

Job Description

After 20 years with our practice, one of our longtime massage therapists is retiring - which means we have a pretty special spot to fill.

Turning Leaf Chiropractic is a busy, established family chiropractic and wellness practice in Lakeville. We're looking for a Certified Massage Therapist who wants more than a room to work in. We want someone who enjoys being part of a team, building relationships with patients and using massage as an important part of their overall health and wellness.

This isn't a spa massage position.

Our patients absolutely appreciate feeling relaxed after a massage - but that's not our primary goal.

We believe massage therapy can help people move better, recover, manage muscle tension and support their overall health. Our therapists have the freedom to use their training, experience and preferred techniques to determine what will best serve each individual patient.

We don't dictate a particular massage style or modality. We want a therapist who can assess the person in front of them and confidently provide and recommend care based on that patient's needs.

What the position looks like

This is an employee position averaging approximately 20 hours per week during varying weekday hours. Our therapists typically provide approximately 15–18 massage sessions per week, with 60-, 90- and 120-minute appointments available.

You'll have your own treatment space and the freedom to practice massage in the way you believe best serves your patients - while also having chiropractors and other practitioners available for collaboration and support.

We provide the treatment room, equipment, supplies, linens, scheduling, front-desk support and general practice marketing.

Your responsibilities include providing massage therapy, completing patient notes, educating patients about the benefits of massage and appropriate ongoing care, encouraging rebooking when it would benefit the patient, and maintaining your treatment room and laundry at the end of your shift.

We're looking for someone who...

Enjoys people -patients and coworkers.

We're a collaborative office and want someone who likes being part of the team rather than disappearing into their massage room, doing their appointments and heading home.

We're looking for someone who is professional, dependable, personable and comfortable building long-term relationships with patients. Excellent personal hygiene and a clean, professional appearance are essential in a hands-on healthcare environment.

You'll also need:

• Massage therapy certification
• Professional liability insurance
• Approximately one year of massage experience preferred
• Strong communication and patient-education skills
• Ability to complete appropriate documentation
• Willingness to participate as part of the TLC team
• A genuine interest in therapeutic, health-focused massage

What we offer

• $30–$38/hour, based on experience
• Approximately 20 hours/week
• Approximately 15–18 massage sessions/week
• Weekday scheduling with flexibility
• Established practice and patient community
• Treatment room, equipment, supplies and linens provided
• Front-desk and scheduling support
• Complimentary chiropractic care
• SIMPLE IRA
• Employee and supplement discounts
• Professional autonomy in how you care for your patients
• A supportive, collaborative healthcare team

And perhaps the best indication of what it's like to work here: this position is available because our longtime massage therapist is retiring after several years with TLC.

We're hoping to find the next person who wants to put down some roots, become part of our team and build meaningful, long-term relationships with the people we serve.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to meet you.

Turning Leaf Chiropractic is an established family chiropractic and wellness practice in Lakeville, MN. For more than 20 years, we've helped individuals and families take an active role in their health through chiropractic care, massage therapy, acupuncture and functional health.

We're a busy office, but we're also a close-knit team. We believe great patient care happens when practitioners communicate, collaborate and actually enjoy working together. Our massage therapists are an important part of that team-not simply someone working behind a closed door.

Our approach is health-focused and relationship-based. We want patients to understand the “why” behind their care and make choices that help them feel better and stay better.

We also believe practitioners do their best work when they're trusted to use their training and experience. Our massage therapists have the flexibility to choose the techniques and approach they feel will best serve each patient, with the support of an experienced team around them.

And we must be doing something right-this opening is available because our longtime massage therapist is retiring after 20 years with Turning Leaf.
