Dr. Joe Bekaert

Joe completed his Doctor of Physical Therapy at The University of Vermont in 2018, where he also earned his bachelor’s in biology in 2008. He comes to Staszak Physical Therapy after living in California where he had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of patients with diverse needs. In 2023 he received his board certification as an Orthopedic Clinic Specialist.

Joe believes that physical therapy and rehabilitation should be focused on achieving your goals. Spending time understanding his patient’s expectations and working together to achieve them is the most rewarding aspect of his relationship with his patients.

As an undergrad Joe was a member of the cross country and track teams at UVM, where he competed for all four years. Before beginning his career in physical therapy, he was a running department manager and ski boot fitter at a highly-rated store in Burlington, Vermont.

Joe loves spending his time outside of the clinic traveling, cooking, skiing and running with his wife and Goldendoodle named Bailey.
