What is a diastasis recti?
A diastasis recti is the separation of the abdominal muscles that occurs when the tissue between the rectus abdominis muscles—the two sides of your “six pack” muscles—stretch or tear at the central vertical line called the "linea alba".
How common is a diastasis recti after delivery?
Most research reports that a diastasis recti exists at a rate of approximately 40% 6-months postpartum.
Is a diastasis recti (DRA) associated with pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD)?
Studies vary regarding the association between DRA and PFD. Cesarean section and multiple pregnancies seem like the more important risk factor for DRA development. Some studies reveal that DRA had a direct significant association with pelvic floor dysfunction with strong associations with pelvic organ prolapse, bowel symptoms, and urinary symptoms.
Testimonial
"Brianna treated me for a 3 finger Diastasis Recti after my second pregnancy. She was always super thorough and gave me detailed exercises to continue my PT at home. In a few short months my DR is down to 1 finger and I feel so much stronger. I would recommend Brianna to anyone who needs help understanding and strengthening their pelvic floor. :)"
