Job Description

About the Role n

ThatLifestyleCoach is looking for an experienced Performance Physiotherapist – Recovery & Longevity to join our team in Mumbai.

n

n

This is not a conventional clinic-based physiotherapy role.

n

n

The selected candidate will work closely with a private client as part of a broader performance and wellness ecosystem, with responsibility spanning musculoskeletal health, injury prevention, recovery, mobility, rehabilitation, physical readiness and recovery-facility management .

n

We are looking for someone who already has strong hands-on experience and can operate independently at a high professional standard while collaborating closely with a strength & conditioning and wider healthcare team.

n

n

This role is best suited to a physiotherapist who understands that the objective is not simply to treat pain, but to help maintain long-term physical capability, readiness and performance.

n

Key Responsibilities n

n

1.Clinical Physiotherapy & Musculoskeletal Management

The physiotherapist will be responsible for: n

n
- Conducting regular musculoskeletal assessments.
n
- Identifying mobility restrictions, asymmetries, pain patterns and signs of physical overload.
n
- Managing training-related aches, minor injuries and recurring musculoskeletal concerns.
n
- Delivering high-quality manual therapy, soft-tissue work, joint mobilisation and assisted mobility where appropriate.
n
- Developing and progressing rehabilitation and prehabilitation programmes.
n
- Tracking recovery and physical progress over time.
n
- Identifying when a concern requires escalation to a doctor or specialist.
n
- Maintaining appropriate clinical documentation and professional boundaries.
n

n

The candidate should already be comfortable independently assessing and managing musculoskeletal and sports-related cases.

n

2.Performance, Movement & Training Integration

n

n

The physiotherapist will work closely with the strength & conditioning team and should have a practical understanding of training.

n

Responsibilities include:

n

n
- Understanding the client's strength and conditioning programme.
n
- Identifying physical restrictions that may affect training quality or performance.
n
- Recommending appropriate exercise modifications where required.

n
- Developing mobility, activation, corrective exercise and pre-training routines.
n
- Supporting post-training recovery.
n
- Communicating relevant findings to the performance team.
n
- Helping reduce unnecessary interruption to training due to preventable physical issues.
n

n

The physiotherapist should be comfortable working as part of an integrated performance team rather than functioning in isolation.

n

n

3.Recovery & Physical Readiness

n

n

The role includes proactive management of the client's day-to-day physical readiness.

n

This may include:

n

n
- Muscular soreness

- Joint stiffness
n
- Training fatigue
n
- Travel-related stiffness
n
- Recovery following demanding sessions
n
- Mobility limitations
n
- Physical preparation before training
n
- Recovery around demanding professional schedules
n

n

Recovery strategies should be selected based on the individual's actual needs rather than applied as generic protocols.

n

The private recovery facility includes a range of modern recovery and wellness technologies.

n

These may include:

n

n
- Cryotherapy
n
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

n
- Understand frequency and integration of different recovery modalities.
n
- Apply professional judgement when deciding whether a modality is appropriate.
n

n

6.Supporting Approved Facility Users
