What is Fascia? Ashley Black, Inventor of the FasciaBlaster, Weighs in Understanding What Fascia is is a Pivotal Step in Advancing Fascia Science1 The Bottom Line: Fascia is Omnipresent in All the Spaces that Surround and Penetrate our Cells! It is literally everywhere in the body! In a nutshell, fascia is the connective tissue in the sense that it connects all our individual cells to one another. We have learned anatomy by viewing the body as “pieces” like the popular 80’s game, “Operation.” In the context of that game, fascia is in all the little spaces that our “parts” are NOT. It is essential to note that fascia is also not parts; it is all one system. The NIH paper by Dr. ChungYang, MD3 describes fascia as an “uninterrupted viscoelastic tissue which forms a functional 3-dimensional collagen matrix3 and surrounds and connects every muscle and organ, forming continuity throughout the body.” Moreover, I like this general description. Fascia can change states like water. 2 It can be highly viscous, almost liquid, or very rigid and strong. So, picture the human body, with trillions of little cells all placed in a “mold of the human body.” Now pour imaginary JelloTM Mix inside the human body mold with its trillions of cells being surrounded by the mix, circling and enveloping the little cells. When you remove the human body from the mold, the trillions of little cells will be held together by the viscous JelloTM Mix. The JelloTM will surround every single little cell of our make-believe JelloTM man. This is a much more accurate visual of what fascia is from a high-level, holistic standpoint. Fascia is ultimately important for a multitude of reasons. Still, the most important thing to note about fascia is that it is ONE SYSTEM, like our nervous system or circulatory system, that surrounds and penetrates all the structures of the body. Like a giant sponge that cells are inlaid into. For more details on the “sciency” stuff on fascia, click here for the Wha
