Our Story | Edo Zylstra & Tyler Waterway | Tactical Physio
Our Story

We didn't create another technique.
We built a framework.

Across healthcare, we saw the same pattern

Procedures without reasoning
Assessment without interpretation
Treatment without verification

When outcomes stall, most clinicians reach for another tool.
We built a system that tells you what to do next.

Good clinicians want more tools. Excellent clinicians thrive in a framework.

Our Mission

Developing autonomous clinicians

To develop autonomous clinicians who can confidently treat neuromusculoskeletal conditions across the acute-to-chronic spectrum.

We are not teaching skills.
We are training decision-makers. Train one clinician, impact the health of hundreds.
