Diastasis Recti

Heal & Strengthen Your Core

What is Diastasis Recti?

Diastasis recti, or abdominal separation, occurs when the connective tissue along the midline of the abdomen stretches and weakens, causing the left and right abdominal muscles to separate. This condition is common after pregnancy but can also affect individuals due to improper exercise techniques, rapid weight fluctuations, or obesity.
 

While diastasis recti can cause symptoms such as back pain, poor posture, and difficulty lifting, it is treatable with targeted core-strengthening exercises and mindful movement.

Common Diastasis Recti Challenges

Diastasis recti can lead to a range of physical and functional difficulties, including:
 

  • Core Weakness: Reduced stability and strength in the abdominal muscles.

  • Lower Back Pain: Strain caused by a lack of core support.

  • Poor Posture: Misalignment due to weakened abdominal and core muscles.

  • Abdominal Bulging: Visible protrusion along the midline, especially during movement.

  • Difficulty with Daily Activities: Challenges in lifting, bending, or standing for long periods.
     

These challenges can affect individuals of all ages, most commonly postpartum women, but also those experiencing weight changes or improper exercise techniques. Addressing these symptoms early is crucial to restoring strength, stability, and confidence.
