$500 Sign-On Bonus
Join our mission to support those who serve our communities every day.
At Outpatient Physical Therapy, we are excited to open a new Puyallup location dedicated exclusively to first responders and tactical athletes. Our focus is on performance-based, rehabilitative care that helps our patients stay strong, resilient, and ready for the physical demands of their work. We are currently seeking a Licensed Massage Therapist to join this specialized clinic.
We are looking for a therapist who is compassionate, dependable, and motivated to make a meaningful impact on a high-demand patient population. The ideal candidate understands the physical and occupational demands placed on first responders and enjoys working collaboratively with physical therapists to support injury recovery, injury prevention, and performance optimization. This role is focused on treatment-based massage within a rehabilitative and performance model, not spa or relaxation massage.
In this role, you will provide one-hour massage treatments tailored to each patient's individual needs and job-specific demands. You will work closely with the onsite physical therapist to ensure care aligns with each patient's performance goals and overall plan of care. Accurate, timely documentation and a professional approach to patient interaction are essential. You must be able to work independently while maintaining the standards of a fast-paced, team-oriented clinical environment.
A current Washington State massage therapy license and graduation from an accredited massage therapy program are required. Insurance credentialing is required for this position. Experience working with first responders, tactical athletes, or high-performance populations is strongly preferred, though new graduates are welcome to apply if they are motivated and eager to learn. This position is available immediately.
If you are passionate about performance-based care, value collaborative practice, and want to support those who serve on the front lines, we would love to hear from you. We are looking for a start date of approximately February 2026.
