William Clarke, PTA AS

William, also known as Will, grew up in the small town of Greene Maine. He found his passion for rehab during his high school athletics where he helped his teammates manage and recover from various injuries incurred during sport. After high school, he furthered his education at Kennebec Valley Community College where he received his associate’s degree in applied science as a Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) in 2016.

Before Will started his PTA career, he worked a variety of generally manual jobs. These jobs gave him a chance to build his discipline and practical knowledge of how to apply proper biomechanics to various work situations that one may not learn from purely working in the PT/academic world.

Will started his PTA career in Lewiston Maine working at a nursing home. His passion and interest has always been for outpatient PT and rehabbing shoulder injuries and back pain, which has led him to now working here, at Gray PT.

Will is a curious minded individual who craves to continue increasing his knowledge and wisdom when it comes to PT. When he has free time at work or at home he enjoys researching and learning about the most up to date PT practices.

Family/recreational life: Will currently lives in Auburn with his loving wife, Sarah, and their young daughters: Lila and Charlotte. He loves to hike, weight train, kayak, canoe, and almost any outdoor activities that one can do!
