Release Muscle Therapy | Temecula, CA Release Muscle Therapy is looking for a massage therapist who is genuinely interested in anatomy, chronic musculoskeletal pain, clinical reasoning and becoming exceptionally good at soft-tissue work. This is not a spa massage position. Our clients typically come to us because they have persistent muscle and joint discomfort, have already tried other approaches, or are looking for something more specific than a general relaxation massage. We are looking for a therapist who enjoys asking: Why is this area irritated? What movements reproduce the client's symptoms? What muscles or movement patterns may be contributing? Did the client's movement or comfort change after the session? What should we focus on next time? You do not need to know everything when you arrive. You do need to be curious, reliable, coachable and motivated to keep learning. This may be a great fit if you: Love anatomy and kinesiology. Prefer clinical or problem-focused massage over spa work. Have taken additional continuing education because massage school wasn't enough. Enjoy working with clients who have persistent musculoskeletal issues. Want to improve your assessment and clinical reasoning skills. Appreciate feedback and actively try to improve. Take documentation and professionalism seriously. Want to build an ongoing client base instead of simply performing one-off massages. Are comfortable discussing findings and educating clients in plain language. Training we're especially interested in: Neuromuscular Therapy / NMT Trigger point work Myofascial techniques Orthopedic massage Sports massage Corrective exercise Kinesiology Movement assessment Pain science Rehabilitation-oriented massage Advanced certifications are helpful, but motivation, critical thinking and teachability matter more than collecting certifications. A therapist with two years of experience who is obsessed with learning may be a much better fit for us than someone with fifteen years of experience who has stopped developing their skills.
