With over 30 years of experience, my goal is to increase function and to decrease pain with innovative treatment techniques, modalities and exercise. I am continual learner and keep up to date on current and best practices. I have experience in in-patient (acute care), out-patient (clinic), sports rehab, acute rehab, worker's compensation and worksite ergonomics. I concentrate on prevention of disability and encourage return to activity. My plan of care centers on integration of their current lifestyle and adding home activity to advance healing and progress patients return to function. I concentrate on wellness-based education and activity to reach the patient's therapy goals.

Dr. Karina Paonessa joined the NHST team in 2020 with a holistic approach to treating her patients. She believes that movement is medicine, and that every body has the potential to heal itself given the correct environment. Her goal is to provide patients the tools they need in order to help them reach their therapy goals. She does this through education, manual techniques, movement, and motivation while fostering a fun and healing environment.
Dr. Paonessa earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from West Coast University following her studies in Zoology with a minor in Spanish at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

She now fills her free time walking her dog by the beach, lifting weights, exploring hiking trails, attending concerts, and traveling.
