Linking
Linking fascia is sub-divided into dynamic and passive components:
• Dynamic fascia can contract autonomously (embedded with MFBs) and plays a
role in locomotion, force transmission and biotensegrity.
• Passive fascia displays noci and proprioceptive capabilities and can only
transmit forces when it is stretched/loaded.
• Linking fascias play a primary role in augmenting bodywide functional and
perceptive continuity.

Functional role and examples
Connects various tissues/structure for the purpose of augmenting bodywide functional and
perceptive continuity. Dynamic presentation can contract autonomously and plays a role in
locomotion, force transmission and biotensegrity. Passive presentation displays noci and
proprioceptive capabilities and can only transmit forces when it is stretched or loaded. Examples
include tendon, ligament, retinaculae and aponeuroses. Note: some forms of linking fascia facilitate
energy generation and/or storage
Augments continuity and force transmission, provides proprioceptive feedback and protection of
nerve, blood vascular and lymph vessels. Examples include vascular tunics, neurofascia and
myofascia
Forms a pressurized compartment to augment vascular function and enhances proprioception,
muscular efficiency and coordination. Examples include compartments such as in the lower leg
Provides structural support, helps absorb shock, limits the spread of infection and creates space
which reduces friction and augments slide/glide between articulating structures/surfaces. Examples
include the loose/well-hydrated sliding layers
