Fascia is a fibrous connective tissue whose importance has long been neglected. However, as our body of research has expanded, it is now understood that fascia is critically important to the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system. Indeed, it might not be long before the term musculoskeletal system is replaced by the term myofascioskeletal system. An understanding of the structure and function of superficial and deep fascia throughout the body yields important implications for manual and movement therapies.
