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.
