Job description

About the role

MSKrehab is looking for an experienced, autonomous physiotherapist who gets excited about the hard cases: chronic pain, complex spine, and motor vehicle accident (MVA) rehabilitation. Someone ready for a change of setting that actually respects the depth of what they do. We’re not a volume clinic. We believe in a patient dedicated environment, not just a mill. We run a care-coordination model with local GP and specialty clinics, and our team takes the craft seriously.

If you're strong at what you do and want a setting built to match that, we'd like to hear from you.

Location

MSKrehab, Unit 407, 8989 Macleod Trail SW, South Calgary, AB

Availability

Morning and evening availability, flexible scheduling. Minimum 3 days/week, full-time preferred. Optional weekend hours if you want them.

Employment type

Employee or independent contractor, your choice at signing.

EMR

Juvonno (templated or fully customizable SOAP notes).

• Real autonomy over your caseload and clinical approach, not a treadmill
• A care-coordination model with local GP and specialty offices creating genuinely collaborative work
• Peer exchange with a fellow FCAMPT clinician (Gunn IMS, McGill Method, etc.)
• A caseload of complex, interesting cases rather than the same three presentations on repeat
• 1-on-1 care with 45-60 minute assessments and 30 minute follow-ups

Who you are

• A registered physiotherapist in good standing with the College of Physiotherapists of Alberta
• Experienced and comfortable running your own caseload with minimal oversight

• Genuinely interested in chronic MSK, spine, and becoming an expert in the field
• Registered Physiotherapist in good standing with the College of Physiotherapists of Alberta
• Demonstrated experience managing a full, autonomous MSK/spine caseload

Strong assets

• Gunn IMS or other dry needling certification
• Spinal manipulation / advanced manual therapy (Level 4–5)
• Concussion and/or vestibular rehabilitation training
• FCAMPT designation or IFOMPT-approved advanced credentials

Compensation

Employee and independent-contractor options available. Base split 40–45% depending on structure, with a tiered model rewarding advanced credentials, certifications, and productivity: up to 60% on clinic patients (IC), and up to 70% on self-generated patients. Full tiered structure shared during the process.
