Sports Physiotherapist & Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist (100%)
Join the PHYSIOZH Team
PHYSIOZH is seeking a motivated and passionate Sports and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist to enhance our growing team. We are in search of a clinician experienced in sports rehabilitation and musculoskeletal physiotherapy, who is dedicated to evidence-based practice and athlete-centered care.
The successful candidate will engage throughout the entire rehabilitation continuum, which includes:
- Injury prevention and risk reduction strategies
- Performance testing
- Data analysis
- Return-to-sport decision-making
- Sport-specific reconditioning
Rehabilitation programs should be designed and implemented based on the latest scientific evidence in Strength & Conditioning and sports medicine.
PHYSIOZH is actively developing partnerships with team sports clubs and organizations in the performing arts sector (e.g., dance). This requires a physiotherapist who is not only clinically skilled but also passionate and adept at working in high-performance and multidisciplinary environments. Given the international nature of both our patient population and partner organizations, excellent communication skills in German and English are essential.
In addition to clinical responsibilities, we are looking for a physiotherapist who is eager to contribute to the education of future professionals by supervising and mentoring physiotherapy students during internships and clinical placements. Previous teaching or educational experience is therefore highly valued.
