Dr. Wolkenberg has developed a unique, eclectic approach to the treatment of chronic pain by integrating the knowledge she has gained from her decades of continuing education with luminaries in the fields of orthopedic, osteopathic, and manual medicine and combining it with postural re-education, targeted exercise, instruction in proper body mechanics, and assistance with lifestyle changes. Her approach is based on hands-on, individualized care. As an experienced physical therapist, she will work with you at your home or office, one-on-one, for the time necessary to help you reach your goals.

She only treats her patients in their home or work environments to best identify their mechanisms of pain and then creates a patient-centric program to resolve or diminish their symptoms. When necessary and appropriate, Dr. Wolkenberg will refer her patients to other practitioners, such as massage therapists, acupuncturists, Alexander Technique teachers, Pilates instructors, physician specialists, nutritionists, and professional organizers.
