Founding Registered Physiotherapist

Founding Physiotherapist — Independent Contractor

Greenlight Personal Training Oakville
584 Ford Drive, Unit 6
Oakville, Ontario

Help Build the Future of Physiotherapy at Greenlight

Greenlight Personal Training is a private training studio in Oakville built around strength, movement, performance, and long-term health.

We are looking for a Founding Physiotherapist to help us build the physiotherapy side of Greenlight from the ground up.

This is not a traditional clinic environment.

You won't be working in a closed treatment room where patients come in, receive passive treatment, and leave. Our vision is to integrate physiotherapy, strength training, movement, and active rehabilitation into one environment.

You'll have access to a fully equipped personal training studio and the opportunity to work directly alongside personal trainers and strength coaches.

We're looking for someone who believes that movement is medicine and that the best rehabilitation helps people become stronger, more confident, and more capable—not simply pain-free.

The Opportunity

As our Founding Physiotherapist, you'll have significant autonomy and the opportunity to shape how physiotherapy operates at Greenlight.

You'll be responsible for building your own patient base while becoming an important part of our growing training community.

The role can begin on a part-time contractor basis, with the potential to expand hours, patient volume, and responsibilities as the practice grows.

This could be an ideal opportunity for a physiotherapist who:

• Wants to build something rather than simply fill a shift
• Enjoys working in a fitness and training environment
• Believes in exercise-based rehabilitation
• Enjoys working with active adults and athletes
• Wants the freedom and autonomy of an independent practice
• Is entrepreneurial and interested in growing a patient base
• Wants to collaborate with personal trainers and strength coaches
• Wants to be part of a community rather than a traditional clinic

What You'll Do

• Conduct comprehensive physiotherapy assessments
• Diagnose and treat orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions
• Develop individualized rehabilitation and return-to-activity plans
• Deliver evidence-based physiotherapy treatment
• Incorporate strength training, exercise prescription, mobility, and movement into rehabilitation
• Provide manual therapy and other appropriate treatment techniques
• Work with clients recovering from injuries, surgery, chronic pain, and movement limitations
• Help athletes safely return to training and sport
• Educate clients on injury management, recovery, movement, and long-term health
• Monitor progress and modify treatment plans as needed
• Collaborate with Greenlight personal trainers to integrate rehabilitation with ongoing strength and conditioning
• Build strong, long-term relationships with patients and members
• Maintain professional clinical documentation and records
• Help develop the physiotherapy offering, processes, and client experience at Greenlight

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for a great clinician who also fits the culture of a private training studio.

The ideal candidate is:

• Warm, approachable, and genuinely enjoys working with people
• Confident and comfortable working independently
• Passionate about movement, exercise, and strength training
• Personally active and ideally someone who trains themselves
• Comfortable working in an open gym environment
• Engaging and able to build strong relationships with clients
• Collaborative and comfortable working alongside personal trainers
• Entrepreneurial and motivated to build a patient base
• Interested in long-term client outcomes rather than simply providing treatment
• Someone who understands that rehabilitation doesn't have to stop when the patient leaves the treatment table

Most importantly: we're looking for a physio who believes in training.

If you lift, play sports, run, cycle, compete, coach, or simply believe that getting stronger is an important part of staying healthy, you'll understand what we're trying to build.

Qualifications

Required:

• Physiotherapy degree
• Current registration with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario and in good standing
• Professional liability insurance
• Strong clinical assessment and treatment skills
• Experience with orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

Preferred:

• 2+ years of clinical experience
• Experience working with athletes
• Experience with strength training and exercise prescription
• Sports physiotherapy experience
• Manual therapy training
• Dry needling and/or acupuncture training
• Experience working in a gym, performance facility, or sports environment
• Pediatric or youth athletic experience

Why Greenlight?Build Something From the Beginning

This isn't an established clinic where you're handed a schedule and expected to treat patients.

You'll be joining at the beginning of the journey.

As our Founding Physiotherapist, you'll have the opportunity to help shape:

• The physiotherapy offering
• Patient experience
• Clinical environment
• Referral relationships
• Integration between physiotherapy and personal training
• Athletic rehabilitation programs
• Future physiotherapy services and programming

Work in a Training Environment

You'll have access to Greenlight's private personal training studio and its equipment, allowing you to take rehabilitation beyond the treatment table.

Rather than simply telling someone to "do their exercises at home," you can coach movement, strength, stability, mobility, and proper technique in a real training environment.

Collaborate With Trainers

You'll work alongside personal trainers who are already coaching clients on strength, movement, and performance.

This creates an opportunity for true collaboration:

Physiotherapy → Rehabilitation → Strength → Performance → Long-Term Health

Build Your Own Patient Base

You will have the opportunity to grow your own caseload through:

• Greenlight's existing community
• Internal referrals
• Trainer relationships
• Local referral partnerships
• Physician and healthcare referrals
• Sports and community partnerships
• Your own professional network

As the physiotherapy side grows, there may be opportunities to increase your hours and take on a larger role within Greenlight.
