About Movement Med

Movement Med Chicago is a Pilates-based medical fitness studio specializing in spinal health, post-rehabilitation care, and performance-focused movement. We work with clients navigating chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, musculoskeletal dysfunction, and other complex movement-related challenges.
Our approach blends Pilates, movement therapy, and hands-on care in a collaborative, education-driven environment. We are looking for a Licensed Massage Therapist who wants to work in a clinical, movement-focused setting—not a traditional spa environment.
Position Overview
This role is ideal for a massage therapist who wants to do thoughtful, outcome-oriented work with clients who need more than relaxation massage alone.
You may be a strong fit if you:



  • Think beyond relaxation massage
  • Enjoy working with clients with orthopedic issues or chronic conditions
  • Value communication, assessment, and collaboration
  • Are interested in integrating massage with movement, recovery, and corrective exercise


In this role, you will work closely with our Pilates instructors and medical fitness professionals to support meaningful client outcomes.
Responsibilities



  • Provide therapeutic massage tailored to each client’s needs and tolerance
  • Work with clients experiencing chronic pain, postural dysfunction, spinal conditions, and post-rehabilitation needs
  • Adapt pressure, technique, and treatment goals based on presentation and response
  • Communicate findings and collaborate with the Movement Med team
  • Maintain clear, professional documentation and session notes
  • Educate clients on recovery, body awareness, and self-care strategies


Required Qualifications



  • Active Illinois Massage Therapy License
  • Strong understanding of anatomy and movement
  • Ability to work safely and effectively with clients in pain or with medical conditions
  • Excellent communication skills and professionalism


Preferred Qualifications



  • Experience in clinical, rehabilitation, or sports-based settings
  • Training in one or more of the following:
    • Myofascial release
    • Neuromuscular therapy
    • Trigger point therapy
    • Orthopedic massage
  • Interest in Pilates, movement therapy, or rehabilitation
  • Experience collaborating with physical therapists, trainers, or other movement professionals


Schedule



  • Part-time to start, with room to grow
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Some evening and weekend availability preferred


Compensation

Pay ranges from $45.00–$65.00 per hour. Competitive hourly or session-based pay based on experience, with strong earning potential in a specialized medical fitness setting. Compensation may vary based on experience, session volume, and performance.
Why This Role Is Different
This isn't a spa job focused on volume or upselling. It’s an opportunity to do thoughtful, clinically relevant work in a collaborative community of care. At Movement Med, you’ll work with clients over time—not just for a single session—so you can build meaningful therapeutic relationships and see real progress. You’ll collaborate with Pilates instructors and movement professionals, work with complex orthopedic and post-rehabilitation cases, and continue growing your skills through mentorship, continuing education, and in-house training in rehab-focused protocols that can make you a stronger care provider.
For practitioners who develop a full-time client load, Movement Med may explore additional benefits, including paid time off and other benefits, as the role grows.
To Apply
Please submit:



  • Your resume
  • A brief description of your clinical or therapeutic approach
  • Any relevant certifications or continuing education


Movement Med is building a team centered on thoughtful, effective care—not high-volume bodywork. If you are excited to grow your skills and work in a collaborative, movement-focused environment, we’d love to hear from you.
