🧬 The Hidden Role of Fascia: A System Often Overlooked... What if the body’s most important system wasn’t taught in most textbooks?
When we think of anatomy, we often picture bones, muscles, nerves. But fascia—the body’s connective tissue web—is often underestimated.
Yet it’s everywhere. It wraps every muscle, nerve, organ. It carries mechanical tension. It stores memory. It communicates.
