Fascia is a tough connective tissue which spreads throughout the body in a three dimensional web from head to foot without interruption. Trauma, posture or inflammation can create a binding down of fascia resulting in excessive pressure on nerves, muscles, blood vessels, osseous structures and/or organs.

It is from the Latin 'fasces' meaning a bundle of rods, and is from where the term 'fascist' derives. One of the major symbols of fascism is in fact the bundle of rods.
Fascia now relates to conservatory-style awnings etc.
