Fascia's Multifaceted Role
- Fascia acts as a fibrous, fluid connecting tissue that strings nearly every cell in the body together.
- It functions as a tensional fabric, neural bed, and fluid storehouse essential to body connectivity and health.
Fascia Enables Smooth Movement

- If fascia is stiff or scarred, it restricts muscle contraction, lengthening, and overall mobility.
