About The Physio Guys

The Physio Guys is a South Dublin-based musculoskeletal physiotherapy practice established in 2021. We are built on an evidence-informed, rehab-led treatment philosophy. Our clinicians work with patients to identify and resolve the underlying drivers of injury and dysfunction — not just manage symptoms.

We invest in our team. We pay above-market rate, foster a supportive clinical environment, and give our physiotherapists the time and autonomy to deliver the kind of care that drives real, lasting outcomes for patients.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior MSK Physiotherapist who is confident in managing an independent caseload of musculoskeletal, sporting, and activity-related injuries. This is a clinician who leads with rehabilitation — using progressive loading, therapeutic exercise, and patient education as primary treatment tools — and supplements with skilled manual therapy to facilitate movement and recovery.

You will be trusted to manage your own diary, build long-term patient relationships, and deliver treatment plans that prioritise meaningful functional outcomes and high plan completion rates.

Clinical Environment & Caseload

Caseload: Predominantly MSK, sporting injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and chronic pain/persistent injury presentations

Approach: Rehab-led, evidence-informed practice. Manual therapy is valued as a clinical tool to create a window of opportunity for active rehabilitation — not as a standalone treatment

Autonomy: You will manage your own caseload, clinical decision-making, and patient scheduling independently

Facilities: Access to gym-based rehabilitation space at Sportsco and BD Gyms Cherrywood as well as fully stocked treatment rooms at both locations

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct comprehensive MSK assessments using advanced clinical reasoning to inform differential diagnosis and treatment planning

• Design and deliver progressive, individualised rehabilitation programmes 

• Apply skilled manual therapy techniques (including dry needling where appropriate) to facilitate recovery and support active rehab goals

• Manage patient expectations through clear, empathetic communication — simplifying complex pathology and building genuine rapport from the first session

• Maintain high patient retention and treatment plan completion rates through excellent clinical care and relationship management

• Write thorough clinical notes and communicate professionally with GPs, consultants, and other healthcare providers

• Handle patient rebooking, payment processing, and diary management as part of independent caseload ownership

Essential Requirements

All essential criteria below are non-negotiable prerequisites. Applications that do not meet every essential requirement will not be progressed.

• Current, active CORU registration as a Physiotherapist (not pending, not in progress — must be confirmed at time of application)

• Current ISCP membership

• Professional Indemnity Insurance (in place or obtainable prior to start date)

• Minimum  2 years' post-qualification clinical experience in a private practice or sports clinic MSK setting (hospital rotations alone are not sufficient)

• Demonstrable expertise in exercise prescription, progressive loading, and rehabilitation programme design

• Proven ability to manage an independent caseload without day-to-day clinical supervision

• Current, unrestricted right to work in the Republic of Ireland (visa sponsorship is not offered)

Desirable Criteria

• Dry needling qualification

• Formal Strength & Conditioning qualification or Pilates instructor certification

• Experience working with sporting populations (amateur through elite)

• Post-graduate qualifications in MSK, Sports, or Manual Therapy

• Familiarity with practice management software and digital clinical note-taking

What We Offer

• Competitive salary paid above market rate and reviewed annually

• Supportive, collaborative clinical environment with regular peer case review

• Access to gym and rehab facilities at Sportsco and Cherrywood locations

• Autonomy and clinical freedom — we trust our clinicians to lead their caseloads

• A genuine commitment to work-life balance in a friendly, low-ego team
