What are the responsibilities and job description for the Massage Therapist position at The Keiser Clinic?
If you are interested in using your manual therapy skills to assist in neuro-rehabilitation for patients with chronic neurological symptoms, you might be a good fit.
The Keiser Clinic is a privately owned, small-team rehabilitation clinic in Chelsea, Michigan. We work outside the hospital and insurance system, so our days are built around our patients.
Our patients fly in from across the country and around the world and stay with us for 2 to 4 weeks at a time. They live with chronic neurological conditions that have taken their daily lives away from them, and many can no longer get through a normal day. They have exhausted every other option, and the traditional insurance-driven system never gave them the quality time with a doctor that they needed. We're their last stop, and we take that seriously.
What you'll do
- Administer rehabilitation protocols and exercises designed around each patient's test results
- Run our specialized neurological equipment, including the GyroStim
- Provide careful supervision for highly sensitive patients whose bodies can crash when they do too much
- Work with patients diagnosed with POTS, ME/CFS, Long COVID, post-concussion syndrome, and other debilitating conditions
- Write customized home programs that patients take with them to continue their rehab after they leave
- Follow up with patients virtually by email after they go home, answer their questions, and keep their rehab moving
- Sit in daily case rounds with our entire team, where we review every patient we saw that day
How we work
Our patients spend hours each day with us in our intensive program, and we currently see fewer than 20 patients per week. That's intentional, because it gives every patient the time their case deserves.
We're growing the team so we can get closer to our goal of helping 10,000 patients over the next 10 years reclaim their lives from bedridden and housebound states.
What you'll learn
Come with your own background and specialty, and the desire to learn ours. We'll train you extensively, with hands-on mentorship from our entire team, in brain-first autonomic and neurological rehabilitation. You'll learn:
- Vestibular and oculomotor rehabilitation
- Visual-spatial and sensory processing retraining
- Neuromuscular re-education, including for hypermobile patients
- Exercise pacing guided by how each patient's autonomic system and cerebral blood flow respond
- How the brain, the body's regulation systems, and movement work together
You'll probably love it if
- You have a real interest in applying manual skills coupled to vestibular rehab and neurology.
- You love hands-on care and want extended one-on-one time with each patient, instead of a 30-60 minute visit in a revolving door.
- You're always researching because you care about your patients' lives, and you want to bring new ideas into the clinic.
It's probably not for you if
- You prefer to follow one set protocol and aren't looking to try new ideas.
- You find it hard to think on your feet.
