I'm Muscle, Adhesions are Glue

Job's Body: Disuse and/or compression of tissue leads to tighter fibers of collagen, with more (hydrogen) bonds between them. Two functionally separate structions may develop adhesions, with loss of range of motion and "finely differentiated movements." This is especially problematic with knee injuries [drat], where the joint relies on connective tissue to a great extent. These unwanted bonds may feel like "thick, lumpy bandaging around a joint, fibrous masses, or tough, fibrotic ropes/cysts in muscle bellies. These bonds prevent the very movements necessary to break them up." p. 73-74
