you want to feel for little lumps and granules and run the end of your thumb down the muscle in the direction of the fibers, like you are trying to smooth out the lumps.
Adhesions can cause some decrease in muscle function, probably not major, but it is best to try and work them out. The other thing that may be occuring is residual spasm around the injury - it is how your body protects itself when injured, like creating its own splint or cast. Only it doesn't always do agood job of un-spasming, so you need to help it with massage, and maybe ice if it feels tender or swollen after deep massage.

It could be adhesions, and though it will hurt like an sob, you want to try and strip it out with your thumbs, like a deep tissue massage. have a massage therapist check it out, if you can.
