Working at Bodyworks DW

A Career, Not Just a Job

At Bodyworks DW, our therapist roles are designed as long-term careers, not short-term gigs. Too many massage workplaces in NYC treat therapists like they’re on a conveyor belt — packed schedules, little support, and no chance to grow. We decided to flip that model. Here, our therapist positions are designed for those who want a real career — where you can focus fully on client care while we handle the admin, marketing, and support systems that keep the studio running smoothly.

Here, therapists have the time and space to build real relationships with clients. You’ll learn advanced skills, get mentorship, and work in a supportive environment where your wellbeing matters just as much as our clients’.

What Makes Us Different

• Supportive culture: Our management team is approachable, our front desk staff has your back, and our studios are designed with therapists in mind.
• Mentorship & growth: Every therapist receives one-on-one mentorship in body reading, assessment, treatment planning, and client communication. Over time, you’ll develop your own personal style with expert guidance.
• Career pathway: We promote based on skill, experience, and commitment — not seniority alone. Moving from senior to lead therapist comes with increased pay and recognition.
• Workplace designed for longevity: Spacious treatment rooms, reasonable hours (max 30 table hours/week), and emphasis on sustainable body mechanics.
• Clear standards & fairness: We set transparent expectations and policies so therapists know exactly what to expect. That’s how we maintain trust and avoid the chaos common in other workplaces.
• Respect & professionalism: Our culture is built on mutual respect — for therapists, for clients, and for the work itself.
• Team collaboration: You’ll never feel “on your own.” From front desk support to peer mentorship, we’ve created a collaborative environment where everyone succeeds together.
• Sustainable careers: With capped weekly table hours and attention to therapist health, we’re committed to preventing burnout and helping you thrive long-term.
• Industry leadership: We’re always looking for ways to raise the bar in our field — from adding 401(k) with company match, to offering W2 employment, to providing free CEU courses. Every few years we refine and expand our model, because our goal is to lead the industry in creating sustainable careers for therapists.
