Thank you for visiting Pathfinder Wellness Solutions. My name is Lisa Tomnitz and I have been a Physical Therapist in the outpatient orthopedic world of therapy for over 20 years. I believe in the power of education and knowledge and that the body is an amazing creation. With that said sometimes it needs a little help to get things moving in the right direction again and I would love to help you find your path back to the life you would like to live.
Over the years I have continued to learn and expand my treatment options as I do not believe that there is one perfect treatment for everyone and that the more tools I have in my toolbox the better I am able to customize care for my patients to address the problems and pain specific to each patient. I have spent the last 5-7 years focusing on the upper extremity, gaining my specialty designation as a Certified Hand Therapist (CHT), a Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist for the upper extremity (COMT-UE) and further developing my skills in creating and fabricating custom orthoses for the upper extremity.
Depending on the symptoms, presentation, preferences, and benefit for the patient I may include dry needling, kinesiotape, cupping, augmented soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, other manual therapy techniques, exercise prescription, assistive device education and recommendations, assist with space modification plans, education regarding the anatomy of the involved region, mindset adjustments to optimize wellness, instruction regarding the integration of physical, emotional, and mental health, and limited information or recommendations for alternative treatment integration and options.
