At MSWA, we are dedicated to supporting over 2000 clients who are living with various neurological conditions, including Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neurone Disease, and Parkinson’s. Our Physiotherapy & Exercise Physiology Services team is over 60 staff strong and consists of Physiotherapists, Exercise Physiologists, Physiotherapy Assistants and Massage Therapists. Collectively we provided a broad range of services across the Perth metropolitan and regional areas.
Our goal is to empower our clients to enhance their independence, improve their quality of life, and manage the impact of their condition. Our team of Massage Therapists are skilled in a broad spectrum of neurological conditions and treatment techniques and are trained to assist with any positioning and transfer needs.
Massage therapy can offer numerous benefits to our clients. It can alleviate pain and discomfort, boost circulation, reduce muscle tension and spasms, and increase range of motion. Additionally, it can provide emotional and psychological benefits, such as reducing stress, anxiety, depression, improving mood and overall quality of life.
We are looking for a new casual employee to join our fantastic team!
