Purpose[edit | edit source]

  • Fascia envelopes the muscles, bones and joints and holds us together supporting the body structure and giving us our shape.
  • Fascia organizes and separates: it provides protection and autonomy for the individual muscles and viscera.
  • It joins and bonds these separate entities and establishes spatial relationships.
  • Chemically it is the collagen in the fascia that enables it to change.
