What are Adhesions?

Remember a few years back, when you could bend, and stretch, and move in directions you can only dream about now? Remember feeling comfortable in your body?

Over time, as we live life and experience various injuries, both major and minor, small sticky scars, or adhesions, form between and within our muscles and other tissues. As the number of adhesions increases, they limit the ability our tissues have to stretch and slide over each other like they should, and we feel "stiff" or "tight". Pain from an injury may disappear after a few days, but range of motion diminishes as adhesions form.

Massage can help to "unstick the sticky places", as we work toward restoring youthful and pain-free range of motion.
