Movement & Biomechanics Specialist – Performance and Recovery (New York)
SSWING is a golf performance and movement brand and experience built around a simple belief: how you move determines how you perform. We help golfers understand and improve the way their body moves so they can move more efficiently, perform with greater consistency, and ultimately Own Your SSWING. Our approach goes beyond traditional golf instruction. We start with the body — assessing movement, mobility, stability, posture, and biomechanics — and connect those findings to how the golfer moves the club. We combine movement science, biomechanics, strength and conditioning, golf coaching, data, and technology to create a more complete approach to golf performance. Our NYC facility is a performance-driven golf environment where coaching, movement, fitness, club fitting, technology, and recovery come together under one roof. We work with golfers at every level, helping them better understand their bodies, improve how they move, and translate those improvements into their golf game. At the foundation of our movement philosophy is Postural Restoration, with a particular focus on skeletal positioning, breathing mechanics, pelvic and rib positioning, hip mobility, and the relationship between the body’s structure and muscular performance. We believe that improving how the body is organized and moves can create greater efficiency, control, and explosive potential — both in golf and in everyday performance. SSWING is looking for a highly entrepreneurial, movement-focused professional who understands the relationship between skeletal positioning, muscular performance, and movement efficiency. This individual will play an important role in helping us continue to develop and deliver SSWING’s movement and performance methodology to our growing community of golfers. A Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) certification is highly sought after. We are also open to candidates with a strong foundation in biomechanics, movement, and performance who have a genuine interest in pursuing PRI certification and further developing their expertise. The ideal candidate is not simply a practitioner — they are a coach, educator, problem solver, and collaborator who can translate complex movement concepts into practical, actionable solutions for golfers. Employment Type & Schedule This role requires a minimum of 3 days per week on-site, including evening availability until 8:00 PM, with weekend availability as needed to accommodate client scheduling. Reliable, consistent weekly availability is essential. Candidates should be able to commit to this schedule without conflicting obligations. Compensation This is a revenue-share, cash-based role, with compensation tied to sessions delivered and packages sold. The model provides meaningful earning potential for a provider who builds and maintains a strong caseload. Compensation structure and earning examples will be discussed in detail during the interview process. SSWING does not bill insurance. Key Responsibilities Movement & Performance Assessments Conduct comprehensive, data-driven movement assessments to identify mobility limitations, stability imbalances, postural patterns, and biomechanical inefficiencies. Translate assessment findings into practical strategies that improve movement quality, performance, and golf-specific power, speed, and consistency. Individualized Performance Programming Design and deliver customized 1:1 performance plans based on each client's movement profile, goals, and timeline. Establish a foundation of efficient movement and positioning, then progressively develop mobility, stability, strength, speed, and power. Recovery & Regeneration Develop recovery strategies that help clients move and perform consistently between training sessions and rounds of golf. Programming may include mobility, soft-tissue techniques, breathing and down-regulation, load management, and post-round recovery protocols. Educate clients on foundational recovery habits such as sleep, hydration, and training load. Group Training Lead engaging, expertly coached group sessions focused on movement quality, mobility, stability, rotational control, sequencing, and total-body functional strength. Provide appropriate progressions and regressions for varying ability levels. Golf Performance Integration Work closely with SSWING's PGA Professional to connect movement strategies with golf-specific mechanics and performance goals. Client Education Make complex movement and performance concepts understandable and actionable. Educate clients on how their body moves, why it matters, and how to apply what they learn both inside and outside the facility. Technology & Data Use SSWING's technology, assessment tools, and performance data to establish baselines, track progress, and communicate measurable outcomes to clients. Business & Program Development Think beyond the session. Help develop new programs, workshops, corporate wellness opportunities, digital education, and other offerings that expand SSWING's movement and performance platform.
