Michael Posch

DR. MICHAEL POSCH is a dually board-certified physician in Family Medicine and Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine/Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. He has a private medical practice, Maine Osteopathic Health, where he specializes in musculoskeletal medicine. Dr. Posch’s main clinical interests are optimizing physical function, health, and performance psychology, particularly among musicians and athletes. In addition to seeing patients, he has been a guest lecturer at the University of Maine School of Performing Arts. Before shifting his focus to musculoskeletal medicine, he practiced family medicine for nearly nine years.

Dr. Posch earned his medical degree from the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine (UNECOM). After finishing his family medicine training at the Maine Dartmouth Family Medicine Residency, his Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine/Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine fellowship was completed at UNECOM. Dr. Posch obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Piano Performance at Virginia Tech, studying with Mary Louise Hallauer, and his Master of Music in Piano Performance at The Catholic University of America, where he studied with Luiz de Moura Castro and Tom Mastroianni.

He became interested in medicine after working extensively at the World Piano Pedagogy Conference as an organizer, committee member, and lecturer. At this conference, he was exposed to several presenting physicians who introduced him to the idea that one could have a career as both a physician and a musician. Before his medical career, Dr. Posch performed in numerous recitals, masterclasses, and festivals throughout the East Coast and Europe and taught private piano for five years.

When not seeing patients, Dr. Posch enjoys practicing his piano in the solitudes of his home in the Maine woods and leads a very active outdoor lifestyle with his wife, who is a physician and piano enthusiast.
