Interconnectedness of muscles and fascia

Muscles and fascia are interconnected structures that work together to support movement and stability. Fascia is a web-like connective tissue that surrounds and links muscles, nerves, and bones, forming a continuous network throughout the body. When muscles contract or become tight, they can influence the fascia, which in turn affects nearby muscles and tissues. This interconnected system helps transmit force, maintain posture, and facilitate movement. Disruptions or restrictions in fascia can impact muscle function, leading to discomfort or limited mobility, highlighting the importance of their cohesive relationship for overall health and movement efficiency.
