Breast Cancer Physical Therapy in Hillsborough, NC & Virtual Recovery Coaching
Two ways I help women after breast cancer. Both start with being truly understood.
Whether your body needs hands-on medical care or your whole life needs a new roadmap — you are in the right place.
Which of these sounds like you right now?

Anxious about recurrence
Overwhelmed by nutrition advice

Managing cancer instead of living

Many women need both — physical healing and life rebuilding don't happen in a vacuum.
Dr. Sophia Pelton, DPT, OCS, CLT
As a breast cancer survivor and a physical therapist with 25 years of experience, I know recovery from both sides of the table. I'm a certified lymphedema therapist and orthopedic specialist, and I've learned that healing happens in the mind as much as the body.
At Mindset Movement & Wellness, I bring the two together: evidence-based movement, lymphatic care, and coaching grounded in present-moment awareness. Whether we meet virtually from anywhere in the country or in person in Hillsborough, NC, my goal is simple: to help you feel at home in your body again.
