Meet Dr. Paula Czapla
Decades of Experience. A Philosophy Built on Healing.
Dr. Paula Czapla, PT, DPT, OCS, brings nearly 20 years of experience helping people move better and feel stronger in their bodies. She is a board-certified orthopedic physical therapist and the founder of A Life In Balance Wellness Center in New Jersey—an award-winning clinic that just celebrated its 10-year anniversary and has been voted “Best Physical Therapy Practice” in her county for five years running.
A former ski coach and lifelong athlete herself, Paula understands how the body works—on the slopes, in everyday life, and through every stage of healing. She works with children, teens, adults, and older adults, offering customized care for everything from injury recovery and pain relief to pelvic floor therapy and performance support. Her approach is rooted in empathy, evidence-based practice, and a true belief in the body’s ability to heal with the right support.
Now offering physical therapy services in southern Vermont (based in Jamaica and serving nearby towns like Manchester, Londonderry, and Winhall), Dr. Paula brings her whole-body, one-on-one approach to the mountains. She takes the time to truly listen, evaluate, and create a treatment plan tailored to your goals—whether that means reducing pain, improving pelvic floor health, or getting back on the slopes.

Services & Approach
Whole-Body Care That Starts With Listening
Dr. Paula’s approach goes beyond treating symptoms. She takes the time to understand you—your movement patterns, your lifestyle, and the root cause of what’s holding you back. Her physical therapy sessions combine science, biomechanics, and a deep knowledge of how the body is interconnected—because pain rarely exists in isolation.
At the heart of her technique is Neurokinetic Therapy, an advanced muscle testing method that reveals how your body compensates and adapts over time. This allows her to build a movement “blueprint” and create a plan that doesn’t just ease pain—it corrects the problem at its source.
Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing pelvic floor concerns, or preparing for another ski season, Dr. Paula brings one-on-one attention and a thoughtful, hands-on approach to every session.
