Andrea opened the Pivot John Rolfe clinic as Tidewater Physical Therapy 12 years ago, and has grown it to five clinicians and several specialties. Andrea is a proud Hokie (Virginia Tech graduate) and has a Masters in Physiology of Exercise from the University of Texas, to go along with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from VCU. She also did a Fellowship with the United States Olympic Committee in their Division of Sports Science, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Her clinical specialties include a Mckenzie certification in the spine, workstation set up and ergonomics, and care of the TMJ.  But, after practicing for 25 years, Andrea feels comfortable with all diagnoses.

“My goal is to return patients to pain free, full function, while teaching them what to do to maintain their health and function on their own.”

Andrea’s interests have always revolved around sports and the outdoors. She was a regional judo champion and competed professionally in racquetball. Currently, she is a National Sierra Club Outdoors Leader.
