When we think of the human body, we often focus on the well-known systems like the cardiovascular, nervous and musculoskeletal systems. However, there is a hidden and intricate network that plays a crucial role in maintaining our body's structure and function – the fascia. The fascia is a complex web of connective tissue that envelops, supports and connects various parts of the body. In recent years, research into the fascia has revealed its significant impact on anatomy, movement and overall well-being. The fascia is a three-dimensional matrix of connective tissue that spans from head to toe, encompassing muscles, bones, organs and nerves. It is often described as a continuous web that interweaves throughout the body, providing a structural framework that holds everything in place. While the fascia was historically overlooked or disregarded in medical teachings, its importance is now being recognized more than ever.
