Thomas Fliss is a physical therapist and board-certified orthopedic clinical specialist who has worked and played in the Columbia Gorge for over 10 years. He earned his Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree at Arcadia University in Glenside, Pennsylvania, and subsequently completed Arcadia’s Orthopedic Residency Program.

Thomas is a swing dancer, kiteboarder, and former whitewater kayaking instructor who specializes in the treatment of orthopedic conditions ranging from joint replacement to jaw pain. Injury patterns of Gorge athletes have led Thomas to develop considerable experience in addressing complex shoulder injuries, elbow pain, postoperative knee rehabilitation, spine pain and related neurological conditions, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, foot pain and orthotic needs, and return-to-sport training. Thomas believes that every physical injury comes with mental and emotional challenges, and he emphasizes restoring not just function but fulfillment.
