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.
