Position Overview
We are currently seeking two (2) full-time Registered Massage Therapists to join our Chestermere location. This is a permanent position offering competitive compensation at $36.00 per hour for 32 hours of work per week.

Our clinic operates on-site, requiring your physical presence to provide hands-on therapeutic services to our valued clientele.
Key Responsibilities
As a Registered Massage Therapist at Massage Addict Chestermere, you will be responsible for delivering high-quality therapeutic massage services to clients with diverse needs. Your primary duties will include assessing clients through range of motion and muscle testing to develop personalized treatment plans. You will perform various massage techniques including soft tissue manipulation, relaxation techniques, hydrotherapy, trigger point therapy, and joint mobilizations.
Client Assessment and Treatment Planning
A core aspect of your role will be conducting thorough client assessments to understand their specific needs and health conditions. You will perform range of motion tests, evaluate muscle function, and identify areas requiring therapeutic intervention. Based on your assessment, you will develop comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each client’s unique goals and health considerations.
Therapeutic Techniques
You will apply a variety of advanced massage techniques to address different client concerns. This includes soft tissue manipulation to release tension and improve flexibility, relaxation techniques to reduce stress and promote mental well-being, hydrotherapy to enhance treatment effectiveness, trigger point therapy to alleviate specific areas of pain, and joint mobilizations to improve range of motion and reduce discomfort.
Pressure Application
Applying precise finger and hand pressure to specific points of the body is a fundamental skill you will utilize daily. This technique helps to stimulate blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote the body’s natural healing processes. You will learn to adjust pressure according to each client’s tolerance and therapeutic needs.
Client Education
Part of your responsibility will be to educate clients about the procedures you’re performing, including potential risks and benefits. You will explain massage techniques, how they address specific health concerns, and what clients can expect during and after treatment. This transparent communication builds trust and helps clients make informed decisions about their care.
Record Keeping
Maintaining accurate and detailed records of treatments provided is essential in our practice. You will document client assessments, treatment plans, techniques used, client progress, and any observations or recommendations. These records not only support continuity of care but also help track outcomes and adjust treatment approaches as needed.
Home Care Instructions
Client care extends beyond the treatment table. You will provide clients with home care instructions and self-care techniques they can implement between sessions. This may include stretching exercises, posture recommendations, heat or cold therapy applications, and lifestyle suggestions that complement the therapeutic work done in-clinic.
Professional Collaboration
Recognizing that optimal client care often involves a multidisciplinary approach, you will consult with other healthcare professionals when developing treatment plans. This collaborative mindset allows for more comprehensive care that addresses clients’ needs from multiple perspectives. You may communicate with chiropractors, physiotherapists, naturopaths, and other healthcare providers to coordinate care effectively.
Direct Massage Services
The core of your role will involve hands-on massage and kneading of muscles and soft tissues throughout the body. Using various techniques and movements, you will help clients relieve pain, reduce stress, improve circulation, enhance mobility, and promote overall relaxation and well-being. Your touch and technique will be central to the positive experiences our clients have at Massage Addict.
