Fascia & Connective Tissue
The continuous connective web that wraps every muscle, organ and nerve.
Fascia is a body-wide network of collagen-rich connective tissue that surrounds and links muscles, organs and nerves into one continuous system. Once considered mostly passive packaging, it's now understood to be richly innervated and to play an active role in movement, force transmission and pain.
