Physiotherapist & Strength Coach (Part Time)

We are actively seeking a Physiotherapist (Strength Coach) with a strength training background who desires more than just the confines of a clinic room. If you're looking for the best of both worlds—applying your physiotherapy skills in a clinical setting while stepping onto the gym floor to lead strength-focused coaching sessions and conduct hands-on rehab—then this role is tailored for you.
 

This presents a unique and exciting opportunity for those looking for a flexible part-time position. The role involves working 2-3 half days per week (approx 10-15 hours), with some early starts at 6:00 am as part of the strength coach responsibilities. There is also the potential to increase hours as your caseload grows, providing an excellent opportunity to build your career while making a meaningful impact in people’s lives.

At Adaptive Strength, you'll be part of a high-performance team that's more than just a rehab facility. We're leaders in bridging the gap from rehabilitation to peak performance. This role is not just a job—it's a chance to be part of something bigger, combining your expertise in physiotherapy with a passion for functional training to provide ongoing care that enhances patient health and longevity.

• Collaborative Teamwork: Collaborate closely with coaches and remedial massage therapists to ensure cohesive return-to-play strategies and injury rehab protocols are effectively implemented.

• Educational Support for Staff: Assist in the ongoing education of our coaching and massage therapy teams on best practices in care and rehabilitation.
