ABOUT

Klara Melli

Klara Melli is a licensed physical therapist with a background in complementary therapies. She is a yoga and mindfulness teacher and shiatsu practitioner. It has been her passion to combine Western and Eastern medicine in helping her clients to achieve their health goals.

She came across yoga and shiatsu at the age of 15 as a result of her long-lasting juvenile back pain and anxiety. If it wasn’t for her issues, she would have never discovered her true gifts. This encounter with pain taught her the most important lesson which she implements into her therapy approach: “Your problem is the life’s way to show you the direction of your next step.” She does not only treat pain and impairments, she helps her clients understand their bodies.

Klara earned her yoga teacher certification in Europe, where she also studied physical therapy and the art of shiatsu. She has been practicing, teaching, and continuously learning since 2005. After finishing her Masters in Physical Therapy at The Charles University in Prague, she moved to the USA and continued her postgraduate studies at A. T. Still University in Arizona. She is currently licensed to practice physical therapy in the State of New Jersey.

“Klara’s PT sessions are state of the art. The way she tailors evidence-based physical therapy program with hints of ancient teachings for your special individual needs is a joy to experience.”

- Klara’s client, 62

Throughout her practice, Klara worked with patients of all age groups suffering from a wide spectrum of conditions through inpatient, outpatient and home care. She has also recently embraced the Telehealth setting. She prefers patient centered individual sessions, where she has time to fully get to know her clients and provide the best quality care. Lately, her focus has been especially on helping clients with back, neck, and joint pain, on psychosomatic physical therapy, women’s health and pelvic floor physical therapy.

Klara lives with her husband Jeremy, also a physical therapist, their two daughters and a cat in Cape May County, NJ. Besides her trilingual family, yoga, dance and other body-based mindfulness practice she enjoys traveling, art, and all outdoor activities, especially hiking, gardening and the ocean!
