MUSCLE ADHESIONS

One of the most common forms of pain in the body is due to fibrous adhesions. The formation of adhesions is the body’s response to injury, trauma, and overuse. These adhesions form in the soft tissue of the body, and over time, can build up to limit mobility, decrease strength, and cause pain.

The bones of the body move with the help of the muscle and connective tissue surrounding them. Tendons, ligaments, and fascia all are made up collagen, fibers and fluid. When you do any sort of challenging exercise or sustain an injury it creates small tears in the muscle, called ‘microtrauma’.

Think of muscle fibers like a group of resistance bands. When one band develops a tear due to overuse, collagen clumps form on the weakened band, sticking to the strong bands nearby and over time, creating a knot, or scar tissue. Scar tissue has less flexibility than muscle or fascia, leading to decreased mobility and flexibility.

When a microtrauma doesn’t heal completely or properly, the body creates collagen, to heal the damaged tissue. The collagen fibers clump together but without the alignment of the natural structure in the tissue, and unlike the smooth soft tissues in the muscle or fascia, the adhesion is “sticky”. The fascia begins to “stick” to other tissues, which creates tension from those tissues pulling on each other. You can think of fascia like cling wrap -- it clings to itself and other tissues until you can flatten it out.

Tight fascia can create poor movement patterns, causing the body to shift out of alignment and increasing pressure on muscles and joints. Over time, the muscles can become compressed and contorted. All of which can lead to discomfort and tightness, restricted joint range of motion, along with muscular imbalance and pain. In addition, you lose hydration and blood flow in that area.

Quick workout session with Bonnie this morning 💪🏻😎

Pressing on and pushing through plateaus 😅😉

A short story about Bonnie:-
She is easily one of the most dedicated persons I know.

Her journey started in July this year - She has never participated in a Bodybuilding show and she was used to doing CrossFit.

She did a 13 week prep, her whole diet and training program had to be changed. Everything was new to her. But she followed the programs thoroughly, she was dedicated, disciplined & consistent and she definitely got the results.

After the show, she followed the reverse diet & training protocol, which, she will also admit, isn’t as “easy” as the prep itself. Today was the official end of the reverse protocol.

Well done Bonnie, your hard work definitely paid off. I’m proud of you. It feels like I’ve also gained a friend during this period, thank you for allowing me to coach you.

May you keep on inspiring all those around you.
