If you flip open any anatomy textbook, you’ll see a lot of red muscle. What it’s missing is a key part: fascia.

While we talked about fascia in my anatomy dissection course in college - for the most part it was just the famous ones like the IT Band and plantar fascia.

So when I did a second dissection course after college and saw, first hand, how interconnected your body is because of fascia, it blew my mind.🤯

How did every textbook totally disregard a tissue that was literally everywhere? 

If you’re thinking that fascia is way more important than it typically gets credit for, you’d be right.
