Fuzz builds up in between layers of muscle, tendonous fascia, and other layers. This fuzz is known as adhesions. Your muscles need to glide around effortlessly with every movement, and this gliding should meet little resistance.
So, have you ever woken up stiff and found that stretching loosens you up better? You are breaking apart the adhesions, the fuzz, and you are making sure that you can move freely again. If you don’t get this broken apart, you might need some outside help: massage therapy, rolfing, and even chiropractic care. Have you had a chiropractic adjustment, and felt like things are moving 100% better afterward? You’ve broken apart the fuzz.
When I was in school, and even attending some postgraduate classes, I had a chance to get my hands on some cadavers. the fuzz is there. On some people, it is very light, but on others, it can be very tough. You can really gain an appreciation for how tough and tight the glue is between the muscle layers in some people. It’s a very real thing, and your muscles generally don’t like to fight it enough to rip it apart.
