1. It is a seamless web that covers and connects muscles, organs and skeletal structures in our body.2. Consists of a serous ground substance of mucopolysacharides (cabohydrates bonded with particular protein chains) in which may be embedded fibrils such as collagen and elastin as well as cells such as fibroblasts, mast cells, macrophages, adipocytes and more.3. Its consistency varies dramatically from fluid and watery to dense and thick from elastic and resilient to stiff and resistant. 4. Malfunction of the fascial system due to trauma, posture, or inflammation stimulates fibroblasts to repair the damage by producing more collagen. 5. The fibrous compartments of connective tissue serves as an effective barrier to the spreading of infection and disease.6. Memory - Connective tissues all have tensile capacity. fascia, with its high levels of collagen, can be resistant to change.It is about current origins, not past history per se. There is a history, a context, but the forces originating the disturbances within the field are still present.Franklyn Sills on tissue memory7. Fascia has thixotropic properties. By applying pressure, stretching or mobilising the bodyworker can generate friction and thereby raise temperature and the energy level to a tissue. This creates a more fluid ground substance where nutrients and cellular wastes can be exchanged more efficiently.8. Communication The energetic meridians of Traditional Chinese Medicine seem to align with areas where sheets of fascia diverge or separate to surround and support different muscle bundles. Recent research which points to a body-wide cellular network of fibroblasts within connective tissue shows that acupuncture changes the alignment of collagen and elastin fibrils local to the needle, thereby allowing fibroblasts to become more spindle shaped and less compressed improving their signalling capabilities.9. Fascia is organised mainly longitudinally in the body hanging off the base of the cranium. It provides the mechanism that makes us a unit of function.10. In health fascia glides and by tuning into fascia we can take out the distance between the place we make contact and the perception of any restrictions or resistance to this glide.
