Provider Name: Dr. Sara Morrissey Posner
Chiropractic Physician/BackBay Clinic Founder and Owner
Where are you from?
The Great White North! (Toronto area)
What made you interested in Chiropractic as a career/How did you get into the profession?
My Dad always took me and my brothers as kids, so it was always part of my normal routine for joint aches or pains. My Dad played professional hockey when I was a baby, and he has always spoken very highly of chiropractors, and how instrumental they were for his body as an athlete. After I graduated from University with a degree in Kinesiology, I took some time off to travel and figure out what I wanted to do next. I moved to Australia and lived there for 8 months, and when I came back home, I applied for Chiropractic School.
What would you be doing if you weren’t a chiropractor?
I think I would make a really great spy! Lol
Best part of your job or your most proud moment/favourite memory as a chiropractor.
Seeing the relief and gratitude on a patients face when you have helped them with their pain.
How do you describe chiropractic/what you do?
I am a musculoskeletal specialist! I treat joints, muscles, tendons and the fascia and ligaments that hold them all together! I use soft tissue techniques to work on the muscles, as well as joint manipulation or mobilization to ensure everything is functioning optimally. I also prescribe stretches or exercises for patients to do at home to aid in their overall recovery. I might also discuss lifestyle modifications to help prevent future injury.
What’s one/biggest misconception you hear from your family/friends or patients about what you do?
That Chiropractors put bones back in place. This is False. If you have a bone “out of place”, please go to the Emergency Room!
