FasciaL Anatomy
Intro
In this module we tackle the surprisingly tough question, “what is fascia?” and look at its makeup, its structure and its function in the human organism.
We will delve into the many layers of fascia and take a look at how it develops in the embryo. We will also look at the concept of myofascial chains, muscles, bones and fascia working together to create long lines of pull - rather than simply muscle action from origin to insertion.
