Owner of Mullins Lymphedema Therapy, L.L.C. Susan’s own journey with lymphedema began a few months after undergoing breast cancer treatments in 2015. She was already a physical therapist (receiving her Master of Science in Physical Therapy from Duke University in 1997), having specialized in neurological and orthopedic diagnoses and working at rehab hospitals including Duke Regional Hospital in Durham, NC, and Coastal Rehab at New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, NC. She specialized in neuro and orthopedic rehab as a physical therapist, but once she was diagnosed with lymphedema, she knew she wanted to learn everything she could about lymphedema and help people to live their best life in the presence of lymphedema. She became certified in lymphedema therapy (CLT) through the Norton School of Lymphedema Therapy in 2017, which teaches the Foeldi Method of Complete Decongestive Therapy. Susan Mullins went on to work as a Certified Lymphedema Therapist at UNC Hospital’s Center for Rehabilitation Care in Chapel Hill, NC.

She lives with lymphedema and knows the challenges you face with your lymphedema. She is experienced in cancer rehabilitation and osteoporosis. She is a PORI-certified Oncology Rehab Therapist. She is skilled as a manual therapist including manual lymph drainage techniques, myofascial release techniques, muscle release techniques, scar mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, neuromuscular inhibition techniques for the treatment of myofascial trigger points, and cranial sacral therapy.
