After graduating with honours from Vancouver Island University with a B.A. in Psychology, Dr. Megan Yim continued her education at the University of Victoria where she earned her Masters of Science in Experimental Neuropsychology. Once she completed her Masters, Dr. Megan began working as a Chiropractic Assistant. Her time working at Backfit ignited her passion for helping people achieve their health and wellness potential. She decided to attend the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, graduating as a Doctor of Chiropractic in 2019. Once she graduated, she returned to Backfit to join our talented team of chiropractors, meaning she has been a part of the Backfit team for over ten years!
Dr. Yim’s strong passion for sport and fitness also led her to earn certifications in Athletic Movement Assessment, Functional Range Release, Functional Range Conditioning, and several other chiropractic technique protocols. To treat her patients, she utilizes a wide variety of techniques including spinal and extremity manipulation and mobilization, functional range release and active rehab. She is also the only doctor at Backfit currently offering Shockwave Therapy to treat a wide range of chronic conditions. Dr. Megan’s passion is to treat and prevent injuries to optimize movement for sport and all activities of daily living.
Dr. Megan is a former varsity badminton player (yes, really!) and is currently an avid squash enthusiast. Sport involvement has led to a keen interest in sports-related rehabilitation and injury prevention. This has strongly influenced her approach to manual therapy combined with exercise. Dr. Megan loves movement and getting outside in nature whether it’s camping, hiking, paddle boarding, or rock climbing. Fun fact: Dr. Megan has her own YouTube channel, where you can find tons of helpful exercise videos that can enhance your treatment results
