​Fascia: Not just packaging material, but a central organ for health and regeneration
Even though many new insights have been gained through fascia research in recent years, in conventional medicine connective tissue is still primarily viewed as a disjointed tissue with no special function. It takes on a variety of tasks.

On the one hand, as a structuring organ , it provides the matrix for our body (bones, muscles, organs, soft tissue). As its own highly complex network that connects everything, it envelops our body and thus gives us our external shape.
At the same time, it provides internal support by enveloping every organ (e.g. heart, lungs) and every joint or muscle and also penetrating into the last cell. (Keywords: support-carrier-shock absorber function, dynamic force transmission between muscles..)

On the other hand, as a functional organ with a variety of tasks. It is our storage organ for water and lymph fluid, the location of our immune defense. This is where communication between the various peripheral tissues, the exchange of nutrients and the disposal of metabolic products take place.
