MSK/Sports Physiotherapist

This is not a typical private practice role.

Most private practice jobs offer a room, a diary, an average hourly rate and a percentage split.

This role offers something different: the chance to build your own clinical brand inside a relaxed, founder-led clinic environment.

Acland Street Physiotherapy is a highly rated St Kilda clinic with consistent 5-star Google reviews. Through Melbourne Running Clinic, we are building a dedicated running injury and performance arm for runners, athletes and active people across St Kilda, Prahran and South Yarra.

We are looking for a motivated Private Practice Physiotherapist who wants to develop a niche, grow a loyal patient base, and work at the intersection of physiotherapy, sport, AI, health technology and entrepreneurship.
