Read This First (Deal-Breakers)

This role isn't for everyone. Keep reading only if this excites you:

You'll be the only physiotherapist initially, tasked with building our physio program from the ground up. You thrive in true interdisciplinary care (DCs, RMTs, rehab assistants) -- no profession hierarchy. You're a builder, not just a caseload filler: you want ownership of systems, outcomes, and growth. You value measurable results and mentoring across disciplines. You can commit to a consistent 30+ hrs/week schedule.


If you need a multi-physio department on day one, or if you prefer a profession-hierarchy model where you feel physio should be at the top, this role will not be a fit.

Why MYo Lab?

Modern, 5,300 sq ft clinic with private treatment rooms & fully equipped rehab gym. Deliberate, unhurried care: 60-min assessments, 30-45 min follow-ups. Real collaboration: weekly team huddles, hands-on skill sessions, cross-discipline case reviews. Tools that work: Shockwave, Class 3b Cold Laser, heat/cryo, 3D motion capture, inclinometers, dynamometers. Full admin + marketing support so you focus on outcomes, not paperwork. Proven demand: $1.8M+ annual revenue and growing.

What You'll Be Building:

Founding Physio Program: Work with leadership to create workflows, outcome tracking, exercise progressions, and case-conferencing norms. Interdisciplinary Playbooks: Treatment pathways shared across DCs, and RMTs. Culture: Shape a team where everyone contributes to clinical excellence and respects each other's expertise.

First 90 Days Success Metrics:

Clinical: consistent objective measures, clear exercise progressions. Outcomes: baseline movement assessments on all new patients; measurable change by week 6. Experience: punctuality & documentation on time. Team: lead 1 cross-disciplinary skill share weekly; participate in case reviews. Growth: stable schedule with 25 booked hours/week by Day 90 with high retention.

How You Can Thrive:

Option 1 - Business Builder Physiotherapist:

Strategic, competitive, and growth-minded. Community outreach & referral development. System design for scalable rehab programs. Own expansion milestones.

Option 2 - Care-Giver Physiotherapist:

Relationship-driven, outcomes-focused, steady. Deep patient education & adherence. Long-term retention through results. Contributes to team learning & protocols.


You may blend both paths depending on your strengths and goals.

Compensation & Structure:

Independent Contractor: 55-65% fee-split with volume and performance potential. Performance incentives immediately; retention bonus after year 2. Flexible schedule (30+ hrs/week, Sun-Fri, including mornings/evenings). One location, strong demand -- no "piecing together" income across clinics.

Growth & Mentorship:

Access to certified practitioners in McKenzie, DNS, Graston, SFMA/FMS, TCM Acupuncture, Strength & Conditioning, Pediatric & Perinatal care, and more. Weekly skill labs, research rounds, and direct coaching from the owner.

Not What You're Getting:

Large physio department day one Profession-hierarchy (we're a true team) "Just crank volume" clinic


You will have the runway and support to build a best-in-class physio program and lead interdisciplinary care.

Our A-Player Non-Negotiables:
