MEET THE TEAM
Dr. Jordan Zapinski
Owner,
Physical Therapist
Jordan first fell in love with the field of physical therapy during his senior year at Armada High School where he knew he wanted to enter the medical field and spent time shadowing at a local outpatient clinic. Jordan found that physical therapy was the perfect fit for him due to the amount of time that is spent with the patients, the opportunity to help optimize an individual’s function, and improve their quality of life. After entering the field, Jordan quickly realized that he wanted to open his own clinic and create an environment in which everyone feels comfortable as they progress from injury/ailment to wellness. Jordan and his wife Cyrsten opened Freedom Physical Therapy & Wellness in January 2023, with the goal in mind that every patient receives one-on-one care with a doctor of physical therapy.
Jordan’s professional interests include general orthopedics, spinal and extremity care, sports injuries, geriatric rehabilitation and post-operative care.
Jordan has additional certifications in Vestibular Vertigo Rehabilitation, Dry Needling, Functional Golf Specialist Program, Blood Flow Restriction Training, and Applied Functional Science.
​
In his free time, Jordan enjoys woodworking and watching sports. He is a diehard Detroit Lions fan. Jordan loves to travel and some of his favorite places that he has visited are Italy, Punta Cana, Jamaica, St. Lucia, Alaska, and Tennessee.
