Licensed Massage Therapist

Body Work Associates, in Champaign, Illinois, is a clinically focused massage therapy practice committed to helping people move better, recover faster, and function at a higher level. Our approach emphasizes Precision Neuromuscular Therapy (Precision NMT): a strategy‑based, evidence-informed method that prioritizes clinical reasoning and long‑term outcomes over fixed protocols.

We are not a spa environment
-we are a team of clinicians, educators, and lifelong learners who believe exceptional care comes from technical skill, critical thinking, and a commitment to growth.

We invest heavily in developing our therapists through mentorship, hands‑on training, case discussions, and real clinical experience.

If you are a new graduate who wants more than “just a job,” this may be the place to launch your career. If you are a seasoned therapist who wants to deepen their practice, let's talk.

We are seeking a licensed massage therapist who is excited to build a strong clinical foundation, refine hands‑on skills, and grow into a confident practitioner.
