Today we’d like to introduce you to Joshua Mclain
Hi Joshua, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Dr. Joshua McLain’s journey into the world of physical therapy and fitness was fueled by a deep passion for human performance, injury prevention, and helping athletes and active individuals reach their full potential.
From an early age, Dr. McLain was drawn to the science of movement and recovery, excelling in both academics and athletics. His experiences on and off the field inspired him to pursue a career in physical therapy, where he could bridge the gap between rehabilitation and performance training.
After earning his Doctorate in Physical Therapy, Dr. McLain made the bold decision to launch his own physical therapy and fitness center straight out of school—an uncommon and ambitious move in his field. Instead of following the traditional path of working for an established clinic, he saw a gap in the industry: too many athletes were either pushed back into competition before they were fully ready or lacked access to sport-specific strength and conditioning that could prevent injuries altogether.
One of Dr. McLain’s biggest frustrations with the traditional medical system was how reactive it was—treating injuries and health issues only after they happened, rather than preventing them in the first place. He believed there had to be a better way. Rather than waiting for athletes to break down, he wanted to teach kids early on how to proactively take care of their bodies through performance training, strength development, and proper recovery strategies. His mission was to help young athletes build strength, mobility, and resilience before injuries ever occurred, setting them up for long-term success both in sports and in life.
Body Rejuvenation started with a primary focus on training athletes, helping them gain strength, prevent injuries, and maximize their potential. As athletes began to see incredible results, their parents took notice—not just in their kids’ performance but in their ability to move better, recover faster, and stay injury-free. Parents started asking: “Can you help me too?” That’s when Body Rejuvenation expanded its services to include physical therapy and therapeutic fitness for adults, allowing parents to heal pain, regain mobility, and build strength in a way that aligned with their unique needs.
With a vision to redefine rehab and performance training, Dr. McLain built a facility that combined cutting-edge rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, and injury prevention programs—all under one roof. His approach didn’t just focus on recovering from injuries but maximizing movement efficiency, building resilience, and enhancing overall athletic performance for long-term success.
Since then, Dr. McLain’s expertise has helped countless athletes, weekend warriors, and active individuals not just recover, but come back stronger, faster, and more durable than ever before. His commitment to education, leadership, and growth continues to drive Body Rejuvenation’s mission to help every client unlock their full potential.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Being a small business owner comes with immense challenges, especially when no one teaches you how to run a business in college. I had to seek out mentors, work 16-18 hour days for years, and be completely self-driven—watching videos, reading books, and constantly learning without the fear of failing. I had to take risks, try new things, and pivot when things didn’t work. There were tough decisions to make and hard conversations to have with team members, all while carrying the weight of the business on my shoulders. Along the way, I’ve had to sacrifice many of my personal wants and make choices that often hinder my social life, knowing that the focus on building the business had to come first. Yet through it all, I made a commitment to never neglect my own health and fitness, showing up for myself every single day, no matter how busy or overwhelming things got.
That dedication, perseverance, and grit came from many years of wrestling, where I learned how to bet on myself daily, push through adversity, and keep going—even when there was no guaranteed success or paycheck. I knew that in order to make it, I had to embrace the challenge, trust the process, and keep grinding every day, even when the future felt uncertain.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?

What does success mean to you?
Success is progressing toward whatever YOU think is important. It’s not about meeting someone else’s standards or following a predefined path. It’s about defining what matters to you, whether it’s in your personal life, career, health, or relationships, and taking consistent steps toward it. Success is deeply personal, and the true measure of it comes from the fulfillment you feel as you move closer to your own goals and values, no matter how they may look to others. As long as you’re progressing toward what truly matters to you, you’re on the path to success.
