Licensed Massage Therapist — Full-Time W2 | Work-Life Balance Is a Priority

A Massage Therapy Job Designed to Be Sustainable

Are you a NYS Licensed Massage Therapist who loves helping people—but doesn't want to spend your career physically and emotionally exhausted?

We are hiring 1-2 NYS Licensed Massage Therapist for a permanent W2 position in our growing medical massage practice.

Our philosophy is simple: taking care of clients shouldn't require sacrificing your own health and well-being.

This position is intentionally structured around a sustainable workload. We do not believe that the best therapist is the one who sees the most clients.

You can expect approximately 10–15 treatment sessions per week, generally no more than 3–4 sessions per day, with time between appointments to step away, reset, hydrate, document, and prepare for your next client.

We want this to be a place where you can build a long-term career—not burn out after a few years.

What Makes This Different

• Full-time W2 employment with stable income and benefits
• Approximately 10–15 treatment sessions per week
• Generally no more than 3–4 sessions per day
• Built-in time between clients to clear your head, reset, document, and prepare
• Flexible scheduling
• We prioritize quality of care over maximizing appointment volume
• Strong administrative support so you aren't responsible for doing everything yourself
• Calm, professional work environment
• Beautiful Ithaca office overlooking Cayuga Lake
• A team that understands that massage therapy is physically demanding work—and takes therapist longevity seriously

Compensation & Benefits

• $55,000–$65,000+ total compensation
• 40–45% commission, with an increase after 1 year based on performance and number of sessions/week
• Health insurance
• PTO
• Paid maternity/paternity leave
• $500 annual continuing education benefit
• $300 uniform/scrub allowance
• Paid training
• Flexible scheduling
• Opportunities for advancement

Our Approach to Preventing Burnout

We intentionally limit treatment volume because we believe therapists do better work when they aren't running from one appointment to the next.

We make room in the day to breathe, reset, eat, hydrate, complete documentation, and mentally transition between clients.

You won't be expected to fill every available appointment slot.

You won't be pressured to constantly increase your treatment volume.

And you won't be left alone to handle the administrative side of running a practice.

Our goal is for you to finish your workday feeling like you still have something left in the tank.

The Work

You'll work with clients seeking pain relief through individualized medical massage treatment plans.

We value:

• Quality of care over quantity of appointments
• Thoughtful client communication
• Evidence-informed treatment
• Strong anatomy and physiology
• Professionalism and reliability
• Protecting the therapist's physical and emotional well-being
• Building lasting relationships with clients and colleagues

Ideal Candidate

• NYS Licensed Massage Therapist
• Experience working with clients experiencing pain
• Strong anatomy and physiology knowledge
• Skilled in therapeutic, trigger point, myofascial, or medical massage
• Professional, dependable, and confident communicating with clients
• Looking for a stable, long-term position
• Values both excellent patient care and a healthy work-life balance

Schedule

Approximately 10–15 treatment sessions per week with flexible scheduling.

This is an in-person position at our Ithaca office overlooking Cayuga Lake.

If you're an LMT who wants to do meaningful healing work without sacrificing your body, your energy, or your life outside of work, we'd love to hear from you.

Come work somewhere that believes preventing burnout is part of being a good employer—not something the therapist has to figure out on their own.

Apply with your resume. A short note about your massage experience is welcome but not required.
