Physical Therapy After Mastectomy or Lumpectomy in Charlotte & Lake Norman
Recovery after breast cancer surgery deserves care that is both clinically skilled and deeply human. At Congruency Therapy & Wellness, we offer individualized physical therapy for women preparing for or recovering from mastectomy or lumpectomy—with a focus on restoring mobility, comfort, and trust in your body.
We serve women across Charlotte, Lake Norman, and Cornelius who are seeking thoughtful, one-on-one care during this important phase of healing.
Who This Service Is For
This service is designed for women who:
Are preparing for mastectomy or lumpectomy
Are recovering weeks, months, or even years after surgery
Experience tightness, pain, or limited shoulder movement
Want hands-on, individualized care—not a rushed clinic environment
Post-surgical physical therapy at Congruency may help with:
Chest wall and shoulder stiffness
Scar and myofascial restrictions
Nerve sensitivity or altered sensation
Swelling or lymphatic congestion
Strength, posture, and functional movement
Our goal is not just symptom relief—but long-term movement confidence.
Please note, if you have lymphedema after having lymph nodes removed, you will need to see a Certified Lymphedema Therapist separately.
