Overview
Lead/Founding Physiotherapist (Builder Role) – MYo Lab Health & Wellness, Calgary. 650+ 5-Star Google Reviews.
Read This First (Deal-Breakers):
- You’ll be the only physiotherapist at MYo to start (build the physio program over time).
- You love true interdisciplinary care with Chiropractors, RMTs, admin & rehab assistants—no “profession first” hierarchy.
- You’re a builder: you want ownership of or at least contribution to systems, outcomes, and growth—not just a caseload handed to you.
- You value measurable results & mentoring across disciplines, not just from physios.
- Minimum 30 hrs/week, consistent schedule, and reliability matter to you.
If you need a multi-physio department on day one, or if you prefer a profession-hierarchy model where you feel physio should be at the top, this role will not be a fit.
Why MYo Lab?
- Modern 5,300 sq ft clinic with private rooms and a fully equipped rehab gym.
- Deliberate, unhurried care: 60-min assessments; 30–45 min follow-ups.
- Real collaboration: weekly team huddles, hands-on skill sessions, and cross-discipline case reviews.
- Tools that work: Shockwave, Class 3b Cold Laser, heat/cryo, 3D motion capture, electronic inclinometer & dynamometer.
- Full admin + marketing support so you can focus on outcomes.
- Proven demand: $1.8M+ annual revenue and growing.
What You’ll Be Building
- Founding Physio Program: Establish workflows, outcome tracking, exercise progressions, and case conferencing norms. This will not be done by yourself, but rather in coordination with the executive team where you will have a very powerful voice/say in how it is developed, while also having the resources the executive helps to compress timelines.
- Interdisciplinary Playbooks: shared treatment pathways with DCs and RMTs.
- Culture: a team where everyone (including admin & assistants) contributes to clinical excellence and is respected for their own expertise.
What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)
- Clinical: consistent use of objective measures; clear progressions for exercise-based care.
- Outcomes: baseline movement assessments collected on all new patients; meaningful objective change documented by week 6.
- Experience: punctuality & documentation on time.
- Team: leads at least 1 cross-disciplinary skill share each week; participates in weekly case reviews.
- Growth: builds a stable schedule (≥ 25 booked hrs/wk by Day 90) with high retention.
The Work
Two ways to thrive here (you may blend both):

Compensation & Structure
- Independent Contractor: 55–65% fee-split with meaningful volume potential on a caseload you’re proud of, and the financial impact to back it up.
- Performance incentives immediately + retention bonus after year 2.
- Flexible schedule (we hire for 30+ hrs/week; Sun–Fri availability, including mornings and evenings).
- Work-life balance: One location, strong demand—no need to “piece together” income across clinics.
