What Is Fascia?

Fascia is a connective tissue that surrounds and supports the muscles, bones, organs, and other structures of the body. Acting as a continuous, web-like network, it provides stability, structure, and protection while also allowing for flexibility and movement.

​

When fascia becomes restricted or dysfunctional, it can contribute to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. This is why many holistic healing and bodywork modalities place special emphasis on fascia — helping to restore balance, ease tension, and improve overall movement and well-being.
