There are three main functions that the muscle fascia performs: 1  The fascia holds the muscle together and keeps it in the correct place. 2  The fascia separates the muscles so they can work independently of each other. 3  The fascia provides a lubricated surface so that the muscles can move smoothly against each other.here are three main types of fascia: 1  Superficial Fascia, which is mostly associated with the skin; 2  Deep Fascia, which is mostly associated with the muscles, bones, nerves and blood vessels; and. 3  Visceral (or Subserous) Fascia, which is mostly associated with the internal organs.
