Ian McClure, PTA, LMT

Ian was born and raised in southern Maine. Growing up, he was your typical nerdy kid who enjoyed playing video games and Dungeons & Dragons. It was during his time at UMaine that a friend introduced him to the gym, and he quickly got hooked on it. He fumbled around on his own, trying to get stronger, and then, after college, discovered CrossFit. Sometime later, he started doing handstands. Now, he is still a giant nerd, likes to squat and bench press (but no CrossFit anymore), and still often stands on his hands.

Becoming a Physical Therapist Assistant came out of nowhere for him. He got stuck working retail for a long time until he decided something had to change. He knew he wanted to be able to help people. After some introspection, he discovered that helping people get back to what they love doing was the most satisfying. Physical Therapy seemed like a good place to do just that. In 2021, he enrolled in the PTA program at Kennebec Valley Community College and took that next step toward his goal. He is interested in working with athletes and weekend warriors.
