2 Functional Dry Needling : A Neuroplastic Approach Edo Zylstra, PT, DPT, OCS This theoretical exposure to Functional Dry Needling and its neuroplastic approach will motivate participants to further understand the neurologic impact of this powerful technique, and will assist them in better incorporating it into a solid clinical treatment model. The didactic component of this seminar will instruct the participant in applying these neuroplastic principles to patient care in effective, logical and dynamic ways. The theoretical model for the application of dry needling should be progressive, similar to the advancement of the research and our understanding of pain processing, nociception, functional impact of pain, fear avoidance, and the understanding of the causes of chronic persistent pain. Dr. Edo Zylstra, PT, DPT, OCS, has taught dry needling since 2005 and has advanced how clinicians apply and teach this technique motivated by this evolution of the model, and more importantly the impact on our patient outcomes. We would not have changed and advanced our techniques based solely on the literature if we didn t have a solid improvement in our clinical outcomes as well. Edo Zylstra has been a physical therapist since 2000 working in outpatient orthopedics and specializing in chronic persistent neuro-musculoskeletal pain. He has a passion to advocate for advancing physical therapy scope of practice in the United States through consulting with state and licensing boards and participating in the APTA House of Delegates. He was active in developing the current standards for Dry Needling (aka Trigger Point Dry Needling) training in Colorado and has been on the APTA Dry Needling Task Force and assisted Federation of State Boards Task force to develop the Analysis of Competencies for Dry Needling by Physical Therapists. He has taught over 200 courses in Functional Dry Needling internationally and is currently developing more advanced techniques for therapists experienced in this manual therapy technique. Edo Zylstra received both his Doctorate of Physical Therapy and Master of Science degrees in physical therapy from Regis University in Denver, Colorado, in 2000 and In 2005 Edo opened his clinic, KinetaCare, previously Sport & Spine Physical Therapy Brighton, in

3 Colorado. Prior to opening his clinic he spent over four years working in a chronic pain clinic specializing in manual therapy utilizing Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS), and Trigger Point Dry Needling. Edo has since taken numerous advanced courses in dry needling, neuroscience, manual therapy and manipulation, functional movement recovery and corrective exercise. This education continues to contribute to his advancement of the dry needling technique KinetaCore teaches, Functional Dry Needling. Edo has been board certified in Orthopedics since He continues to progress his educational model through partnering with Evidence in Motion, The International Spine and Pain Institute and Neuro Recovery Training Institute. He is determined to see Physical Therapy make an impact on the struggling healthcare system in America with the goal of seeing Physical Therapists become the providers of choice for neuromusculoskeletal disorders and diagnoses. Navigating The Job Market: Resumes, Salary Negotiations, and the Career Path Ben Fung, PT, DPT, MBA What's normal pay for a new grad physical therapist? Does it make a difference if they have experience in other industries? How do I get my resume in front of decision makers, in a way that catches the eye? What do I do when I get a low-balled offer... is there truly no wiggle room? Why do glass ceilings seemingly exist in every corner of healthcare? What must I do to capture my entire career potential?! If these questions seem all too familiar, then you're in good company. The truth is, the job market really isn't that complex once you understand the fundamentals behind the economy of human resources and how you can contribute value to any business unit, of any given size, in any given setting. Having a strong foothold for a successful career launch can mean everything it can mean the difference between doing what you love and getting paid for it, or trapped doing what you hate and feeling very much taken advantage of.
