Repetitive stress, surgery or trauma can result in the build up of scar tissue and adhesions within soft tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia and nerves). These adhesions can act like glue restricting the normal sliding motions of the various tissue layers causing symptoms of pain, numbness, weakness and reduced range of motion.
