Diastasis Recti is more than just a “mom pooch.” 🤍
At She PT, we frequently see diastasis recti during pregnancy and postpartum. While many people notice changes in the appearance of their abdomen, the real impact is often in how the abdominal wall functions to support your body, manage pressure, and transfer force during everyday activities.
Common signs of diastasis recti may include:
✨ Doming or coning through the midline of the abdomen
✨ A feeling of core weakness or lack of support
✨ Difficulty generating strength during lifting, exercise, or daily tasks
✨ Low back, pelvic, or hip discomfort
✨ Feeling like your core “isn’t connecting” the way it used to
✨ Ongoing abdominal bulging or pressure with movement
The good news? Diastasis recti is not simply about closing a gap. Effective treatment focuses on restoring coordination between your breathing system, core muscles, and movement patterns so your body can function more efficiently and confidently.
At She PT, we take a whole-body approach to rehabilitation, helping you build strength, improve pressure management, and return to the activities you love.
If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or wondering whether your symptoms may be related to diastasis recti, we’re here to help.
