Who should I see for shoulder pain?
Shoulder pain often comes from tension or imbalance in the muscles and connective tissue of your upper body. If your pain keeps coming back after massage or chiropractic care, you may need to address how your shoulder, neck, and ribcage work together.
At JLee Bodywork in Maitland, FL, I use Structural Integration (Connective Tissue Massage) to restore balance and mobility throughout the shoulder girdle. This approach releases fascial restrictions so your shoulder moves freely and pain can finally resolve.

What can help with my shoulder pain?
Lasting shoulder relief comes from improving how the shoulder, neck, and ribcage move together — not just loosening tight muscles. When fascia (connective tissue) tightens or shortens, it limits mobility and creates tension patterns that cause pain.
Through Structural Integration at JLee Bodywork, we release deep fascial restrictions and rebalance the upper body. This allows your shoulder to move naturally again, reducing strain and preventing future discomfort.
Why do I have pain in my shoulder when I raise my arm?
Pain when lifting your arm often means the tissues around your shoulder blade or upper arm are restricted. Tight fascia or imbalance between your chest and back muscles can pinch or strain tendons as you move.
At JLee Bodywork, Connective Tissue Massage helps free up the layers of fascia that limit motion. By aligning the shoulder with the rest of your structure, we make movement smoother, easier, and pain-free.
I’ve been diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS). What can I do for it?
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) happens when nerves or blood vessels are compressed between your collarbone and first rib, causing pain, tingling, or numbness down your arm.
At JLee Bodywork, I use Structural Integration to release the fascia around the neck, chest, and shoulder girdle. By restoring space and improving posture, we can reduce compression, ease symptoms, and help your arm and hand function comfortably again.
Serving clients throughout Maitland, Winter Park, and the greater Orlando area.
What causes pain down my arm?
Pain traveling down your arm often starts from nerve irritation or tight fascia in your neck, chest, or shoulder. These restrictions can compress nerves and send symptoms down into the arm and hand.
Using Connective Tissue Massage, JLee Bodywork helps free the tissues that surround those nerves and restores natural alignment. This holistic approach relieves arm pain by addressing the source, not just the symptoms.
What can I do for glute pain?
Glute pain commonly comes from tight fascia or muscular imbalance in the hips, pelvis, and lower back — often from sitting too long or repetitive strain.
Structural Integration at JLee Bodywork releases these restrictions and restores movement through the pelvis and hips. As tension eases, circulation improves and pain often disappears naturally.
Why is pain going down my leg?
Pain that radiates down your leg is often linked to sciatic nerve irritation. This may come from tight fascia around the hips or lower back, or pressure from the piriformis muscle.
At JLee Bodywork, I focus on restoring alignment and length through the fascia surrounding the pelvis, spine, and legs. This approach relieves pressure on the sciatic nerve, helping you move freely without pain.
Do I need surgery for my sciatic nerve pain?
In most cases, sciatica improves without surgery. Often, the pain comes from fascial or muscular restrictions rather than a structural issue with the spine.
Through Connective Tissue Massage, I help relieve tension and improve movement in the lower back, hips, and legs. By rebalancing your structure, your body can often resolve sciatic pain naturally — no invasive treatment needed.
What can I do to fix my sciatica?
The key to fixing sciatica is relieving the pressure that’s irritating the nerve. That means addressing tight connective tissue and imbalances in how your hips and spine move.
Structural Integration at JLee Bodywork works to lengthen and free the fascia in these areas. This not only eases nerve compression but also improves posture and long-term movement patterns for lasting relief.
Should I get the nerve burned?
Nerve ablation (or “burning the nerve”) can temporarily stop pain signals, but it doesn’t fix the reason the nerve became irritated. If the problem is fascial or muscular tension, pain may return once the nerve regenerates.
JLee Bodywork takes a different approach — using Connective Tissue Massage to release restrictions and restore balance so the nerve can heal naturally. This method addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Can I recover from sciatica?
Yes — many people fully recover from sciatica without surgery or injections. The key is to restore movement and alignment in the lower back, pelvis, and legs so the sciatic nerve isn’t compressed.
Through Structural Integration at JLee Bodywork, I help clients release deep fascial restrictions and regain ease of motion. As your body rebalances, pain often fades and function returns.
Can I recover from Thoracic Outlet Syndrome?
Recovery from TOS is possible when nerve and vessel compression are relieved. The process involves improving posture, freeing tight fascia, and restoring movement through the neck and shoulders.
At JLee Bodywork, I use Connective Tissue Massage to open space around the collarbone, ribs, and chest. Clients often notice reduced numbness, better circulation, and improved strength as their body realigns.
Why does my wrist hurt?
Wrist pain can stem from overuse, restricted fascia, or even nerve tension starting in the shoulder or neck. When the connective tissue through the arm tightens, the wrist has to work harder, leading to discomfort.
Structural Integration at JLee Bodywork addresses the full pathway of tension—from neck to hand—so your wrists can move freely and pain-free again.
What causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed in the wrist, often due to tight fascia or repetitive strain. Tension higher up in the arm or shoulder can also contribute.
At JLee Bodywork, I use Connective Tissue Massage to release fascial restrictions throughout the arms, shoulders, and neck. This whole-body approach relieves pressure on the nerve and supports long-term recovery.
Do I need surgery for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Surgery can help severe cases, but many people find relief by addressing fascial and muscular causes first. When the tissues around the nerve are freed, symptoms often ease naturally.
JLee Bodywork focuses on restoring balance through the wrists, forearms, and shoulders using Structural Integration techniques — often helping clients avoid surgery altogether.
Who can help with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
If wrist pain or numbness keeps returning, you may need a practitioner who looks beyond the wrist itself. A Structural Integration therapist focuses on how your whole upper body contributes to nerve compression.
At JLee Bodywork, I help clients release the fascia through the arms, shoulders, and neck, restoring mobility and comfort while preventing future flare-ups.
Why do I have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome often develops from repetitive motion, posture imbalance, or tight fascia through the forearms and shoulders. When the connective tissue shortens, it traps the median nerve in the wrist.
Through Connective Tissue Massage, JLee Bodywork helps restore length and space in the upper body. By improving alignment, we relieve nerve pressure and help your wrists function naturally again.
