Diastasis Recti (Abdominal Separation)
Diastasis recti is a natural widening of the abdominal muscles that occurs during pregnancy as the uterus expands.
For many women, the muscles do not automatically regain optimal tension after birth.
You may notice:
Abdominal doming or coning
A visible or palpable gap along the midline
Core weakness
Low back pain
Difficulty lifting or bracing
A persistent “pooch” appearance
It’s important to know:
A gap alone is not the problem.
Loss of tension and pressure control is.
How We Address Diastasis Recti
Postpartum rehabilitation focuses on restoring:
Deep core coordination
Proper breathing mechanics
Pressure management
Functional abdominal tension
Progressive strength under load
This is not about endless crunches — it’s about retraining your system from the inside out.
With structured, progressive rehabilitation, most women see meaningful improvement in strength, stability, and abdominal control — even years postpartum.
