Registered Massage Therapist — Part-Time Room Rental / Split OpportunityJob Summary
Cogent Physical Rehabilitation Center is a physiotherapy-led rehabilitation clinic in Burlington, Ontario, providing one-on-one care for clients with musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, post-surgical needs, neurological conditions, concussion and vestibular concerns, balance issues, and complex rehabilitation goals.
We are looking for a professional, compassionate, and clinically minded Registered Massage Therapist to join our clinic on a part-time independent practitioner basis. This opportunity may be structured as room rental, revenue split, or independent billing depending on the candidate’s preference, experience, and fit.
