When your neck or back feels restricted, your shoulder is difficult to move, or muscle tension is getting in the way of your day, a focused bodywork visit gives us a place to start. Jason Lee listens to your movement goals and shapes the session around what you want to do more comfortably.
Is this the right kind of appointment for me?
Orthopedic bodywork centers on a movement or musculoskeletal concern. Jason considers where discomfort shows up, what changes it, and which daily tasks or activities you want to return to with more ease. You can arrive with a goal without knowing the name of a technique.
This page is about the appointment itself. For a longer comparison with relaxation, deep-tissue, and sports massage, our separate orthopedic bodywork guide explains the distinctions in more detail.
What might happen at a visit?
Jason will ask about your history, current symptoms, and the movements that feel limited. He then selects hands-on techniques for your situation, adjusting pressure and positioning to your comfort and feedback. You can talk about how you responded and decide on a useful next step.
Jason's training as a licensed acupuncturist and certified massage therapist gives him a broad view of musculoskeletal care. During your visit, he can discuss whether bodywork or another clinic service may best support your goals.
Care shaped around your life
Tell Jason when the concern began and which parts of your day it affects most. He'll review relevant health history with you and shape the session to your needs, whether your goal is easier movement at work, more comfortable daily tasks, or returning to an activity you enjoy.

- 1Tell Jason what hurts or feels restricted and what you would like to do more comfortably.

Could this be a good place to start?

Do I need to know which technique I want?
