Adhesions are a normal part of the soft tissue healing process. Soft tissue heals in three main phases

Adhesions are more common with surgical sutures internally and with immobilization for longer periods of time. Adhesions can be thought of as internal scar tissue.

Symptoms of adhesions can be varied depending on location.

Adhesions can become painful when entrapping a nearby nerve or may decrease motion around a joint.
