What Is Holding Back Your Recovery? Likely Scar Tissue Build Up
Remodeling of scar tissue is critical when attempting to overcome muscle and soft tissue injuries. Failure to do so results in a constant cycle of injury and re-injury. 

Scar tissue is weak and brittle tissue, very susceptible to re-tearing and straining with certain motions and movements. When one "over-works" an area containing a build up of scar tissue, the resulting damage to the tissues further causes more build up of the weak, fibrous scar tissue. 

To end the cycle, a focus on nourishing the injured tissues with a healthy supply of blood flow is critical. It is through the blood the body carries the oxygen, and nutrients needed to build new, healthy collagen.
