How do you self-check for Diastasis Recti? Here, we show you what you can do at home on your own. 1. Lift your head and shoulders up (not too high) 2. Use your fingers and place it lengthwise around the midline of the abdomen 3. Feel for any gap and the side walls of your abdominal muscles If you can fit 2 fingers or more, it could be a separation of the abdominal muscles. Get in touch if you’d like an accurate assessment, and to check if you might be suitable for treatment 😊

Cindy Gan was diagnosed with Diastasis Recti in 2018 and wanted to avoid surgery. She shares her decision making process and 3 reasons why she decided on the Orchard Clinic method. Over the last 9 years, Cindy had weak core strength and lower back pain, and avoided exercises as she didn’t want her DR to worsen. Today, Cindy has regained strength in her abdominal muscles and pelvic floor - and have seen great improvement in her diastasis recti and incontinence 💪🏻 Thank you Cindy for openly sharing your personal experience 💕

Have you had your Diastasis Recti check? Did you k

Have you had your Diastasis Recti check? Did you know that there is still hope for recovery even years after giving birth? With the Orchard Clinic Method, our treatment technologies enable a faster, easier and more effective recovery. While treating it earlier is always better, we have successfully treated cases that are many years after giving birth. Diastasis Recti occurs when the connective tissue at the middle of the 2 sides of the Rectus Abdominis muscle (one of the tummy muscles) becomes stretched and loses tension. Common signs include:
❗Lower back pain
❗Loose or squishy tummy muscles
❗Persistent bulge or a dome shape
❗Saggy and loose tummy skin
❗Umbilical Hernia (belly button pops outwards)
❗Pelvic floor weakness or Incontinence If you've been wondering about treatment and how it works, book an assessment with us. Our friendly consultants will share our knowledge and make your visit a comfortable one (we dislike pushy visits ourselves!)

Did you know that Diastasis Recti and incontinence

Did you know that Diastasis Recti and incontinence could occur together? 🤯
Chronic back pains led Yenny to find a solution at Orchard Clinic. When the abs are separated, besides poor posture and lower back pain, the pelvic floor could also weaken - leading to incontinence. Strengthening the deep core muscles must involve the pelvic floor and transverse abdominis (deep abdominal muscles). These help to return a mummy’s body to its optimal function after giving birth. We're glad we're able to support Yenny and many other women to lead a stronger and healthier life. Get in touch with our friendly team to find out how we can help

I N C O N T I N E N C E Shouldn't be a topic that

I N C O N T I N E N C E Shouldn't be a topic that you shy away from. Women are twice as likely to suffer from incontinence simply due to pregnancy and childbirth🤰 Did you know that incontinence could occur in both C-section and Vaginal birth? This is because during pregnancy, hormonal changes and the growing weight of the baby places significant stress on the pelvic floor muscles. This often causes accidental urinary leakages during an exertion such as coughing, sneezing or laughing. This is common but shouldn't be treated as normal. Our method for incontinence strengthens the pelvic muscles and vaginal tissues for a complete recovery. Get in touch with our all-female and friendly team to find out more ☺️

Have you accidentally leaked urine while jumping,

Have you accidentally leaked urine while jumping, sneezing or coughing? It's more common than you think. A number of mummies that we see tell us that they first find out... at the trampoline park. Why does this happen? The pelvic floor is a group of muscles supporting the bladder (as well as uterus, rectum, or the baby during pregnancy). A lot of weight and pressure is placed on these muscles during pregnancy, causing the pelvic floor to weaken. For many women, this occurs again in the 40s or 50s as we hit the menopausal stages. Hormonal changes cause ligaments, tissue and muscles to weaken once more, leading to the weakening of the pelvic floor. A healthy pelvic floor is one that has healthy bladder control - this means no leakage at all - even with a jump, cough or sneeze. Strengthening the pelvic floor is the an important first step to recovery. Get in touch with our friendly team to find out how we can help. In more
