About our Clinic:
Ottawa Osteopathy & Sports Therapy is currently looking for an osteopathic manual therapist to join our growing and dedicated team. We're a fun group that's serious about evidence-based practice. We are looking for the right candidate to start as soon as possible to assist with existing patient overflow and build a full time practice. Our current osteopathic manual practitiones have a wait list of several weeks and are unable to take on new patients.
Over the last 15 years, our clinic has built a well-respected reputation within the Ottawa community. We have established relationships with family practitioners, multi-practitioner medical clinics, sport medicine physicians, allied health care practitioners and a very large referral base of over 14,000 patients.
The clinic staff are involved with educational programming with the University of Ottawa’s Sport and Exercise Medicine Program (teaching spine assessment in sport medicine and precepting for osteopathy and physiotherapy) and have spoken at provincial/national/international medical and allied health conferences. Additionally our staff have been part of many Canadian medical teams in High Performance Sport for national and international events.
Working within a multidisciplinary treatment model, we encourage collateral learning from other practitioners and hold in-clinic all-staff meetings to review recent research, manual therapy techniques and assessment protocols. Our practice provides quality, personalized services in the areas of injury prevention, treatment and improved performance in sport. A significant portion of our patients also consult for chronic pain, post-surgical rehabilitation and concussions among the usual orthopedic musculoskeletal conditions.
Our in-clinic and virtual services include physiotherapy, osteopathy, athletic therapy, kinesiology, running assessments/gait corrections, women's health care, pre-post-natal care, dance medicine and strength and conditioning.
What We Offer:
We offer a flexible schedule, a guaranteed base salary package to support during the initial phase of building a case load, remuneration commensurate with skills and experience, an educational allowance, support and guidance for continuing education, and a rare opportunity to refine your manual palpation and manipulative skills. We have a well-established demand for osteopathy built upon our high-quality service and years of relationship building with referrers.
We have bright private treatment rooms with large windows, high quality adjustable tables, a rehabilitation gym, and a full service reception to handle scheduling, direct insurance billing and provide administrative support. We have online booking and our clinic uses electronic medical records.
Our goal is to help you become the most effective therapist possible by guiding and supporting your professional growth. The successful candidate would be surrounded by experienced professionals with expertise in manual and manipulative therapies, movement assessment and exercise prescription.
The Ideal Candidate:
You have a passion for learning and focus on delivering structured patient appointments which exceed patient expectations. You're self-motivated, have the habit of educating patients and providing measurable outcomes using evidence-based approaches. You understand that given the right tools, you can foster lasting relationships with patients and repeat referrers. You bring a positive attitude with you to work, respect your colleagues and appreciate the benefits of working in a dynamic team environment.
We require up-to-date Membership with the Ontario Association of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners (OAO), or a willingness and the prerequisites to join the OAO. Ideally you have a strong understanding of exercise programming to complement the benefits of osteopathy.
