The terminology of fascia-related connective tissue is very divergent. There is still not any definition of “fascia” that is accepted by all researchers, worldwide. Anatomists generically relate this term to dense sheets of connective tissue.
Most fascia researchers define the fascial tissue as the whole-body, continuous, three-dimensional matrix network for structural support, that interpenetrates and surround all organs, muscles and cells, creating an environment for body systems functioning.
