Injury, soft tissue changes, fuzz

As part of ongoing hand rehab, I've been seeing a chiropractor who specialises in a physical therapy called Active Release Technique. Very very handy stuff, all soft tissue based, really amazing results. I didn't know you could do that with muscles.

As a result I'm really interested in soft tissue injuries. I think a lot of musicians overuse injuries are soft tissue or connective tissue based. Maybe there is a pattern of varied movement that keeps everything in good working order and when that is disturbed, stuff starts to go wrong.

There's a youtube video about the "fuzz" that can build up - I need to go hunt this.
