What is Fascia?

Fascia is a tough, connective tissue which spreads throughout the body in a three-dimensional web from head to toe. Think about the segments of an orange. Each wedge is individually wrapped in its own membrane and yet is all held together with the the other segments. Fascia is similar is this analogy as it covers each muscle, and surrounds all vessels and larger groups of structures. Fascia is everywhere in the body, it holds us together. Movement problems occur when the fascia binds down in places and body segments don’t slide and move in relation to each other.
