Andrea Wolkenberg, PT, MA, CKTI

Andrea Wolkenberg launched the SPINE OPTIONS physical therapy program and continues to lead it. Since her 1979 graduation from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Allied Medical Professions Physical Therapy Program, she has worked extensively with chronic pain patients. Having taken extensive continuing education with many of the profession’s luminaries, she has developed an eclectic approach to the treatment of neck and back pain. Using manual treatment, exercise, postural and movement re-education, modalities, and Kinesio Tex Tape, Ms. Wolkenberg and her physical therapy team strive not only to relieve their patients’ pain in the short term, but to give them skills and strategies to maintain the gains they make while in treatment.

Ms. Wolkenberg serves as Clinical Coordinator and Instructor for the SPINE OPTIONS Physical Therapy Department’s student program. She currently trains doctoral physical therapy students from Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons.

In addition to her work at SPINE OPTIONS, Ms. Wolkenberg teaches the Kinesio Taping Method, the application of a unique, time tested, flexible sports tape, to other therapists in seminars all over the country.
