Power in Movement was founded by Dr. Grace Schwemmer, because the standard model is broken. No double-booking. No corporate nonsense. We treat one patient at a time, out of real gyms in the heart of Denver, with clinicians who care more about outcomes than throughput. Our clients are CrossFitters, lifters, runners, and competitive athletes who find us through word of mouth because the people we treat actually get better. This role is based at DTC CrossFit in South Denver, where you'll treat the gym's members and the wider athlete community. We're growing, and we need the right person to grow with us. About the
