Bodyworker

We understand better than anyone how powerful a healthy pelvic floor can be. Over 7 years, we have helped thousands of patients in the Washington, DC and Baltimore metro areas, we have expanded into four locations (and counting), and we have built a beautiful community. Today, the Indigo brand is firmly established in the space and backed by an impeccable reputation in the marketplace. 

Our heart and history of results inspire clients to see the experience of healing and strengthening their bodies as savvy and freeing. For the same reasons, Indigo has grown to be the region’s leading and largest pelvic floor physical therapy and bodywork practice. 

And we continue to grow. Right now, we are hiring at all four of our current boutique locations and for future locations as well. We are looking for motivated bodyworkers with strong manual therapy skills, relevant experience in orthopedics/ sports, and either experience or proven interest in women's health.
