Edo Zylstra

Dr. Edo Zylstra, PT, DPT, is a licensed doctor of physical therapy. He earned his Master of Physical Therapy from Regis University in 1999 and his Doctorate from Regis in 2012. He worked as a staff physical therapist in a specialty pain and spine injury clinic in the Denver area for several years before establishing a successful outpatient physical therapy practice in Brighton, Colorado, in 2005. The family moved to Michigan in 2013. At this time, he opened a part-time cash-pay practice in Byron Center, Michigan. In January 2021, he moved the clinic to Hudsonville, Michigan, where he currently practices. Dr. Zylstra founded a physical therapy education company, KinetaCore (now part of Evidence in Motion), in 2006. His desire was to share his Functional Dry Needling© techniques with other therapists who wanted to help their patients return to their daily activities more quickly. From a love of teaching dry needling and advocating for its acceptance across the United States, he currently teaches foundational, clinical, and advanced-level courses throughout the U.S. and Canada. Dr. Zylstra has more than 24 years of experience in outpatient orthopedics, pre- and post-surgical care, sports performance, wellness training, chronic pain treatment, and injury prevention. He works with patients of all ages and across all activity levels. From 2014 to 2020, he served as a delegate for the Michigan chapter of the House of Delegates of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), which allowed him to serve the profession and statewide patient care by advocating for policy change.

He currently leads a thriving clinical practice in Hudsonville, Michigan, and is passionate about elevating healthcare education in Michigan and beyond.
