Job description

Location: NE Portland, OR Type: Independent Contractor (1099) Schedule: Coordinated around treatment room availability

SportsLab is a multidisciplinary movement and rehab clinic in NE Portland, working alongside Athletic Republic's sports performance training under one roof. Physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, and chiropractic all serve the same motivated clients — people who find us because they're committed to better movement.

We're looking for our next massage therapist to join a growing, collaborative team — not to fill an empty slot, but to grow into real demand.

What You'll Do

• Build your caseload as an independent contractor, coordinating your schedule with shared treatment room availability
• Provide sports and orthopedic massage, including deep tissue, trigger point, and myofascial release, tailored to each client's goals
• Work alongside physical therapists, chiropractors, and acupuncturists to support coordinated care for shared clients
• Take part in Physio Big Brain, our recurring clinical collaboration session held the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month
• Build ongoing relationships with clients across recovery, rehab, and performance

What We're Looking For

• Experience with sports or orthopedic massage, or strong interest in developing that focus
• Comfort operating as an independent contractor, running your own practice under our roof
• A genuine interest in collaborative, performance-informed care
• If you're interested in insurance credentialing rather than cash pay, prior experience charting and billing to insurance is required

Compensation

Compensation is structured as a percentage of your monthly collections, with a marginal, two-tier rate — the more you collect in a month, the higher your rate climbs on the portion above a set monthly threshold. Specifics are discussed directly with qualified candidates as part of the conversation.

What's Provided

• Access to our dedicated massage table, with additional treatment space available as needed to support your caseload
• Admin support for scheduling and client communication
• Optional credentialing support for insurance billing, for therapists who already have experience charting and billing to insurance (most of our massage therapists work on a cash-pay basis)
• A facility with real volume moving through it — roughly 500 rehab appointments and about 100 athletes training at Athletic Republic — though referrals into massage from our other providers aren't yet an established habit, so building those relationships is part of the opportunity
• Premium, convenient location with a free parking lot

A large audience, still being built into a habit. Between rehab and Athletic Republic training, hundreds of people move through SportsLab regularly — but our other providers don't yet refer into massage as a matter of course. You'd be joining at a point where that connection is still worth building, not one that's already running on its own.
