Stubborn and persistent, she developed a set of exercises based on the relationship between different muscles and organs, and willed her body to a full recovery.
Once Paula had completely recovered from her illness, she began studying Anatomy and different forms of physical therapy, to understand the underlying principles on which her exercises worked.
