Tissue glide

Layers of the body sliding across each other the way they are supposed to. Skin, fascia, muscle, tendon and nerve are all separate sheets that glide as you move — and when repair tissue binds them together, or the space around a nerve tightens, they stop sliding and start dragging. Good looks like: movement near the area feeling free rather than tethered, and the tissue tolerating load through the range instead of only around it. Nerves are the clearest case: they need room and they need to slide, and when they cannot, they complain in their own language — numbness and tingling rather than ache.
