Diastasis Recti

Diastasis recti is the partial or complete separation of the rectus abdominis, or “six-pack” muscles, which meet at the midline of your stomach. Diastasis recti is very common during and following pregnancy. This is because the uterus stretches the muscles in the abdomen to accommodate your growing baby. In some cases, it can result from lifting heavy weights incorrectly or performing excessive or unsafe abdominal exercises. symptoms include lower back pain, poor posture, constipation, bloating etc. This can weaken your core and lead to back or pelvic pain. You can perform the exercises at home, or work with a physical therapist or postpartum fitness specialist as excercise helps to reduce it and also, some excercises should be avoided.
