Role Overview

As a Stretch Therapist at Heartland Rehab, you will deliver professional assisted stretching sessions to a diverse range of clients — from working adults managing postural tension and stress to athletes looking to improve flexibility, recovery, and performance. You will work closely with our physiotherapy team to ensure client programmes are safe, progressive, and aligned with their goals.

This is a hands-on, client-facing role that combines anatomical knowledge, strong interpersonal skills, and a genuine passion for helping people move and feel better.

• Collaborate with physiotherapists and other clinical staff to coordinate care for clients with specific conditions or post-rehabilitation needs.

• Meet session targets and contribute to clinic revenue goals while maintaining quality of care.

• Uphold a professional, welcoming clinic environment and deliver an excellent client experience at every touchpoint.
