 Full Job Description
Join One of NYC’s Top Medical Massage Studios — And Build a Stable, High-Income Career

If you love deep tissue, clinical work, and helping clients actually feel and function better, you’ll fit right in here.

Bodyworks DW is a results-driven medical massage practice where therapists are trained, supported, and booked solid. We’re expanding in 2026 with a new compensation model designed to bring stability, growth, and long-term career development to the profession.

What’s New (and Why This Matters for Your Career)

? Guaranteed Base Pay That Grows With You

You’re paid for your entire shift — not just the clients on your table. Base pay increases with tenure and tier progression.

? 75%+ Booked Shifts at Start

Our full in-house marketing team keeps your schedule filled. When working a consistent set of high?demand shifts (selected collaboratively based on your availability and studio needs), most new hires start at 75%+ booked and are consistently full within 1–3 months.

? Part-Time Benefits at 18+ Hours/Week

Paid sick leave
401(k) with 4% match (after 6 months)
? Full-Time Benefits at 30+ Hours/Week

All part time benefits plus...
Vacation pay
$500/month Health benefits via QSEHRA
? Clear Pathway to Six Figures

Therapists who commit to 30+ hours/week consistently reach $100k+ in 12–18 months.

Start Part-Time, With a Path to Full Time

Most therapists join us with 3–4 shifts per week to get comfortable with our systems, clients, and treatment approach. As your schedule fills (usually within 2–3 months), you’ll have the option to expand into full-time.

Therapists who move into full-time enjoy:

Vacation pay
Health benefits
Higher total earning potential
A clear pathway to six-figure income within 12–18 months
Or, Start Full-Time

For experienced therapists ready to jump into a full-time schedule, we can offer an accelerated onboarding plan and access to full-time benefits within 90 days, higher earning potential, and faster progression toward our six-figure pathway.
