Breast Cancer Recovery

BREAST CANCER REHABILITATION

Supporting Healing—Beyond the Diagnosis
Breast cancer may be behind you, but the side effects of treatment don’t have to linger. Studies show that survivors can experience a wide range of health challenges — from fatigue and sleep disturbances to lymphedema, infections, and bone loss — for up to 14 years after diagnosis pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Many have said, “I wish I had known about this care sooner!”
At Mindset Movement and Wellness, expert support isn’t something to wait on. Whether you're preparing for treatment or navigating long-term recovery, our comprehensive care is available now.  We offer compassionate, hands-on and virtual physical therapy that honors both science and spirit.
Our Mission
Support individuals affected by breast cancer in restoring functional movement and well-being through evidence-based exercise and mindfulness rooted in present-moment awareness.
We’re dedicated to preventing and easing the physical, emotional, and cognitive side effects of breast cancer treatment, so you can truly heal in body, mind, and spirit.



Is In Person Right for me?
Hands on therapy in Orange County and Durham County 
 
Whether you are struggling with cording, lymphedema, scar tissue tightness, fascial adhesions, we have many treatment options available. Dr Pelton is skilled in advanced myofascial release techniques, lymphatic massage, dry needling and encourages intuitive movement for deeper healing.

Is Virtual Right for Me? 
Are you tired of clinic visits? 
 
I was able to heal myself at home with consistent stretching, breathing and self massage before moving onto strengthening and functional training. I felt very lucky that I set aside the time and attention to listen to my body and access my knowledge to achieve healing and I want to teach you how.

Virtual or in office

One hour physical therapy breast cancer evaluation 

Investment: $175
We will explore your body’s limitations and strengths related directly to your amputation/reconstruction. We will assess for lymphedema, cording and/or soft tissue restriction. 

In clinic appointments are great for scar tissue release, joint mobilizations or trigger point release with hands on assist. 
During virtual appointments, you will learn how to release your own scar tissue and perform myofascial release at home. This is very powerful and effective and will reinforce your expanding relationship with your body. 

Both virtually and in person, we problem solve and design a wellness program for you to reintroduce movement, weight training, weight bearing movements so that you can return to pain free function and build muscle and bone to combat effects of chemotherapeutics and/or hormone blocking agents. I help you get in touch with your body’s intuitive healing wisdom
