Job description

Part-Time W-2| Flexible, Patient-Volume-Based Schedule

Pillar Health Co. is seeking a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) to join our growing integrative healthcare practice in Champaign, Illinois.

This is a newly created position designed for a massage therapist who is interested in working in a clinical environment, collaborating with a Chiropractic Physician, and helping us build and grow our massage therapy program.

Unlike a traditional spa setting, this role focuses on therapeutic, clinical, and performance-oriented care. The therapist will have the opportunity to provide both focused manual therapy as part of coordinated patient care and traditional 30-, 60-, and 90-minute massage appointments.

Because this is a new service within the practice, the position will begin with a flexible, patient-volume-based schedule. Weekly hours may vary initially, with the opportunity to expand significantly as the therapist's caseload and demand for massage services grow.

This may be an especially good opportunity for a therapist who currently maintains other professional commitments, is building a client base, or wants to gradually develop a clinical massage practice within an established healthcare setting.

What You'll Do

• Provide 30-, 60-, and 90-minute therapeutic massage appointments
• Provide focused 15-30 minute manual therapy sessions as part of coordinated patient care when appropriate
• Work collaboratively with a Chiropractic Physician to support patients with musculoskeletal injuries, pain, recovery, mobility, and performance goals
• Review patient intake information and adapt treatment based on patient presentation and goals
• Assess tissue response and other relevant findings during treatment and communicate appropriate clinical observations to the treating provider
• Provide patients with appropriate recommendations regarding massage frequency, recovery, and ongoing care within the LMT's scope of practice
• Complete timely and appropriate documentation
• Maintain a professional, clean, comfortable, and patient-centered treatment environment
• Participate in developing and growing the massage therapy program within the practice

Build Your Caseload

We welcome therapists who are interested in developing their own following.

Therapists may introduce existing or prospective clients to the practice. Massage appointments provided through Pillar Health Co. will be scheduled and processed through the practice, with the therapist compensated as a W-2 employee.

Opportunities for additional growth incentives may be available for therapists who actively contribute to developing their caseload and expanding the massage therapy program.

Qualifications

Required:

• Current Illinois Massage Therapy License prior to independently providing massage therapy services
• Strong knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and musculoskeletal conditions
• Professional and patient-centered communication
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a healthcare team
• Reliable, organized, and comfortable managing patient relationships

New graduates are encouraged to apply. Candidates currently completing an accredited massage therapy program or preparing for licensure may be considered, provided Illinois licensure is obtained before independently treating patients.

Preferred Experience

Experience or interest in any of the following is especially welcome:

• Sports massage
• Clinical or orthopedic massage
• Trigger point therapy
• Injury recovery
• Mobility and movement
• Working with athletes and active adults
• Chiropractic, physical therapy, sports medicine, or other interdisciplinary healthcare environments

Clinical experience is preferred but not required. We are more interested in finding a therapist who is curious, collaborative, professional, and interested in developing their clinical skills.

Schedule

This is a part-time position with a flexible schedule based initially on patient demand.

Because massage therapy is a new and growing service within the practice, a specific number of weekly hours is not guaranteed at launch. The goal is to establish consistent appointment availability and progressively expand the therapist's schedule as the caseload develops.

We want to be transparent about the growth-stage nature of the position and would especially welcome candidates who are excited about helping build something over time.

Compensation

• Starting at $28/hour
• Paid leave accrued in accordance with applicable Illinois requirements
• Potential growth incentives for contributing to new patient development
• Opportunity for increased hours as patient demand grows
• Opportunity for compensation review as experience, clinical responsibilities, and caseload develop
