Intro
If your belly still feels weak months after giving birth, or you notice a gap in your abdominal wall, you may have diastasis recti. This is common but treatable with the right physiotherapy.
What Is It?
It’s a separation of the abdominal muscles due to the stretching of the linea alba during pregnancy. Left untreated, it can cause poor core strength, back pain, pelvic issues and limit your life.
Physio Can Help
- Assessment of the separation and tension
- Core reactivation and progressive rehab
- Education on what movements to avoid early on
- Safe return to exercise plans
Signs You May Have It
- Visible bulge when doing a sit-up
- Weakness in your core
- Lower back pain
Let’s close the gap-gently and safely. Book your Pelvic Health Physiotherapy Assessment at Innovations Physio & Pilates.
