Every muscle in your body is infused with, surrounded by, and connected to adjacent muscles and bone by a fibrous connective tissue known as fascia. Fascia is a key factor that we must include if we are to develop a real understanding of our body’s kinetic chains.

Muscle fibres originate from, and insert into, fascial fibres. In turn, these fascial fibres insert into multiple regions of both bone and adjacent muscles. These additional points of contact and control give your muscles the ability to generate force in multiple directions. Thus, even though we speak about specific muscles and their actions, it is important to remember that the deeply interconnecting fasciae form one of the primary, interconnecting elements of our body’s kinetic web.

Each muscle works together as part of a functional unit, in which their actions coordinate across multiple joints. Depending on the degree of motion and amount of force required, contractions only occur within very specific areas of each muscle, not across the entire muscle. These very specific motions are largely coordinated, not by the brain, but by the neurological receptors embedded in the fascia.
