  schema:description "Scar tissue shortens as it matures, and across a joint that means lost movement: a shoulder that will not reach a shelf, a neck that will not turn, a mouth that will not open. Silicone gel flattens and softens the scar itself in randomised trials, and stretching is what holds the joint."@en ;
