fascial
Of fibrous sheaths
Fascial means relating to fascia—the thin sheets of connective tissue that wrap around muscles, organs, and other structures throughout the body.
The term appears in anatomical and medical contexts: fascial planes, fascial release therapy.
Practitioners of certain bodywork techniques focus on fascial tension as a source of chronic pain.
