“…From a neurological point of view the contraction of the diaphragm muscle is preceded by the contraction of the floor of the mouth, and is synchronous with pelvic floor muscles [17]. The fascia connections to the diaphragm muscle, allows communication with the entire body network [17,18]. We can reasonably assume that a dysfunction of the diaphragm, will lead to functional alteration of the pelvic and buccal floors.…”

“…The epidermis is the surface epithelium that originates in the ectoderm, meaning that it is part of the structures that are in contact with the outside world [35]. Some authors also identify a third layer, the hypoderm, which lies under the dermis and is rich in adipocytes [36].…”

At the beginning of the third millennium, we still do not have a definition of ‘fascia' recognized as valid by every researcher. This article attempts to give a new definition of the fascial system, including the epidermis, by comparing the mechanical-metabolic characteristics of the connective tissue and the skin. In fact, according to the latest classification deriving from the Fascia Nomenclature Committee, the outer skin layer is not considered as part of the fascial continuum. This article highlights the reasons for taking the functional characteristics of the tissue into consideration, rather than its mere structure. A brief discussion will address the questions as to what is considered as fascial tissue and from which embryonic germ layer the epidermis is formed. The notion that all the layers intersect will be highlighted, demonstrating that quoting precise definitions of tissue stratification in the living organism probably does not correspond to what happens in vivo. What we propose as a definition is not to be regarded as a point of arrival but as another departure.

“…Defective sliding, for instance due to a scar, generates anomalous tension, which then affects the fascial continuum, developing painful symptoms 1,52. Tensional alterations can derive from the contractile property of fibroblasts, creating a fascial tonus that is independent of neurological intervention 1,52,53.…”

Every body structure is wrapped in connective tissue, or fascia, creating a structural continuity that gives form and function to every tissue and organ. Currently, there is still little information on the functions and interactions between the fascial continuum and the body system; unfortunately, in medical literature there are few texts explaining how fascial stasis or altered movement of the various connective layers can generate a clinical problem. Certainly, the fascia plays a significant role in conveying mechanical tension, in order to control an inflammatory environment. The fascial continuum is essential for transmitting muscle force, for correct motor coordination, and for preserving the organs in their site; the fascia is a vital instrument that enables the individual to communicate and live independently. This article considers what the literature offers on symptoms related to the fascial system, trying to connect the existing information on the continuity of the connective tissue and symptoms that are not always clearly defined. In our opinion, knowing and understanding this complex system of fascial layers is essential for the clinician and other health practitioners in finding the best treatment strategy for the patient.
