The Fascinating network of fascia

Each persons has, on average, between 18 and 23 kg of connective tissue.

This tissue :

• Stores a quarter of the total amount of water in the body
• Provides cells and organs with nutrients
• Responds to stress and strain, and adapts accordingly
• Continously regenerates itself, albeit slowly (it usually takes between 7 and 14 months for collagen fibres to be replaced)
• Increasingly loses water as we age
• Becomes matted with age and inactivity
