What are the responsibilities and job description for the Licensed Massage Therapist – Deep Tissue & Pain Relief Specialist position at The Body Mechanic?
About The Body Mechanic
The Body Mechanic is not a spa.
We are a results-driven pain relief center specializing in therapeutic bodywork, muscular pain management, corrective strategies, and client education. Our clients come to us because they are hurting and want answers. Many have chronic pain, nerve pain, postural dysfunction, repetitive strain injuries, athletic injuries, or have exhausted traditional approaches.
We approach the body like a mechanic approaches a vehicle: identify the problem, find the root cause, and create a solution.
Our mission is simple: help people feel significantly better before they leave the clinic.
