*Now Hiring: Licensed Massage Therapist*
Saks Wellness Center · Gaylord, MI · Part time or Full-time · Weekday Schedule, no nights or weekends

We're adding a second massage therapist to our team. This job is for someone interested in both clinical massage and related alternative therapies.

*Why Saks Wellness Center*

Saks Wellness Center was built on bringing clinical and natural care together. Since 1976 we've offered chiropractic care alongside functional nutrition, neuropathy care, laser therapy and massage, all under one roof and one care team. Alternative therapies are part of how we treat patients, and our doctors support them.

For a massage therapist, that means you can do both kinds of work in one place. Your massage is part of each patient's care plan, and you have room to offer therapies like craniosacral, cupping, reflexology, lymphatic drainage and acupressure where appropriate. You work side by side with chiropractors who have practiced this way for years.

*A different kind of future*

Many massage therapists got into the work to help people feel better. Here, that's the absolute center of the job. You see the same patients over months, work with their doctors and watch the care add up.

There's also room to grow. You build clinical skills alongside the chiropractors and there are opportunities to deepen your training and practice in therapies beyond traditional massage. As our massage program grows, your role can grow with it.

*What you'll do*

* Provide therapeutic massage as part of a patient's overall care
* Work with patients recovering from injuries, managing long-term pain or coming in to stay well
* Bring in alternative therapies where they fit a patient's care
* Keep treatment notes and coordinate with the chiropractors

*Who you are*

* Licensed massage therapist in Michigan
* Experienced in providing massage therapy, preferably within a clinical or healthcare setting, with expertise in rehabilitation techniques.
* Excellent communicator with the ability to assess client needs effectively.
* Compassionate with a commitment to patient care and well-being.
* Able to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary wellness team.
* Professional, reliable, and attentive to detail in all aspects of work.
* Trained and certified in, or interested in learning, therapies beyond traditional massage
* Someone who enjoys working as part of a care team

*What we offer*

* $25 to $35 an hour
* Part time or Full-time, set weekday schedule
* We handle the booking, so there's no client list to build
* Paid time off and paid sick time
* Employee discount and wellness program

If you're a new massage therapist looking for the right place to start, we'll train you to work in a clinical setting. If you've been practicing a while and want a change, this is a chance to do more clinical work, make room for the therapies you believe in, and keep your evenings and weekends free. Either way, we'd love to hear from you.

Pay: $25.00 - $35.00 per hour
