Fascia is a specialized system of the body that has an appearance similar to a spider's web or a sweater. Fascia is very densely woven, covering and interpenetrating every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein, as well as, all internal organs including the heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord.

The most interesting aspect of the fascial system is that it is one continuous structure that exists from head to toe without interruption. Each part of the entire body is therefore connected to every other part by the fascia, like the yarn in a sweater.
