Meet Our Team
Robert Stasiak, Physical Therapist
We’re excited to welcome Atlantic Physical Therapy Center PT, Robert (Rob) Stasiak to Ascend PT Clinic as your physical therapist.
Rob brings over a decade of hands-on clinical experience treating patients of all ages — from young children to patients in their 90s — with orthopedic injuries, sports-related injuries, vestibular conditions, and neurological conditions like stroke recovery. He earned his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Rutgers Camden Graduate School and Rutgers School of Health Related Professions, and graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology from Rutgers University.
Before joining Atlantic Physical Therapy Center, Rob spent five years at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy and also practiced at Seaview Orthopaedic & Medical Associates, building a reputation for thorough, personalized care. His clinical training included time at Robert Wood Johnson Outpatient, Virtua Memorial Hospital, and CentraState Physical Therapy, giving him broad experience across outpatient, acute care, and sub-acute rehabilitation settings.
Rob is also a published researcher, having contributed to a systematic review on respiratory muscle training in multiple sclerosis presented at the APTA Combined Sections Meeting and published in the Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy Journal. Outside the clinic, he’s an active volunteer in the community, having supported the Special Olympics, Life Rolls On (adaptive surfing), MuckFest MS, and local balance and fall-prevention screenings.
Rob is looking forward to getting to know each of you and continuing the high standard of care you’ve come to expect.
