Sportmasseur (Freelance/ZZP) - Vrouw

This is not a standard massage job, and it's not a standard training job either. It's both. Read this carefully before you apply.

At Tension Treat we don't just treat where it hurts. Every first session starts with a body analysis: posture, mobility, muscle balance, compensation patterns. We find where the problem actually comes from, then we treat the cause with targeted deep tissue work. And here's what sets this specific role apart: we don't stop at the table. We take the client into the gym and train them out of their problem. Posture, strength, movement. From A to B, with measurable progress.

That combination of hands-on treatment and hands-on training is exactly what we're hiring for. It's why we have 710+ five-star Google reviews. It's why we treat 200+ clients per month. And it's why we're expanding the team with a Sportmasseur (Freelance/ZZP) - Vrouw.

If you're a female therapist who can both fix a body on the table and coach it in the gym, keep reading.

Why we're specifically looking for a woman for this role

We are moving toward a setup where our male therapists treat male clients and our female therapists treat female clients. To make that work, we need a strong female therapist who can carry the full Tension Treat method: assessment, deep tissue treatment, and gym-based movement and strength coaching. This role is therefore specifically for a woman.

What we are looking for in a Sportmasseur (Freelance/ZZP) - Vrouw

Be honest with yourself before you apply. We need someone who:

• Has a background in physiotherapy, sports physiotherapy, or a comparable field. You understand the body at a deep level: anatomy, biomechanics, complex complaints, and how one problem creates another. You know why a client's neck pain is driven by their anterior pelvic tilt and shortened hip flexors, not just where it hurts.
• Can perform a real body analysis. Posture, mobility, muscle balance, compensation patterns, assessed before you touch the client.
• Can deliver hard, targeted, cause-focused deep tissue treatment. This is not relaxation or wellness work. Every session has a goal.
• Can coach in the gym. This is a hard requirement, not a bonus. You can take a client onto the floor and teach them posture and strength work to train their way out of an injury or imbalance. You build the plan, you correct the movement, you guide them from A to B.
• Communicates clearly. You explain what you found, what you're doing, and what the client needs to do next. Our clients expect to understand their own body, not just lie there and hope.
• Has the legal right to work in the Netherlands as a self-employed professional (ZZP) and is already based in or near Amsterdam. This is a hands-on, in-person role. We cannot support international relocation, visa procedures, or recognition of foreign qualifications.
• Wants to build long-term. We invest serious coaching time in every new therapist. We're not looking for a temporary stop between jobs. And if you currently run your own massage, therapy, or chiropractic practice, this is not the right setup. We need therapists who focus their full attention on building with Tension Treat.

Note: our team works and treats in English. Fluent English is required. Dutch is a plus.

What you will actually do as a Sportmasseur (Freelance/ZZP) - Vrouw at Tension Treat

• Perform body analyses: assess posture, mobility, and compensation patterns before treatment
• Deliver targeted deep tissue and sports massage, cause-focused, not symptom-focused
• Coach clients in the gym: posture correction, strength work, and movement to resolve their complaints
• Build and adjust treatment and training plans with measurable progress
• Explain findings clearly and guide clients from A to B

What we offer our Sportmasseur (Freelance/ZZP) - Vrouw

• Starting rate of €35 per hour (excl. BTW), paid monthly against your invoice. This is performance-based. Your rate grows based on results, client retention, and commitment. Therapists who deliver and stay consistent grow quickly, and there's a bonus system on top. Given how specific this role is, there's real room to grow fast for the right person.
• A full client base from day one. We handle all marketing, sales, and client contact centrally. You're not building a base from zero. Your schedule fills fast.
• Personal coaching from the founder. Artjom (10+ years experience, sports education, sports massage certification, trained by physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, and manual therapists) personally coaches every new therapist on the Tension Treat method.
• Two locations in Amsterdam Noord: a boutique studio inside a private gym (Schooltuinpad 5) and our second location next to Train More (Hulstweg 12).
• Free gym access to train and to coach your clients, plus showers, coffee, and free parking at the door.
• Flexible scheduling, 7 days a week. You manage your own hours.
