DIASTASIS RECTI NON-SURGICAL,
FAST & EFFECTIVE TREATMENT
STRENGTHEN & TIGHTEN ABDOMINAL MUSCLES AFTER PREGNANCY
DIASTASIS RECTI OVERVIEW
Symptoms
The most common symptom of Diastasis Recti is a visible pooch or bulge in your stomach, especially when you strain or contract your abdominal muscles. Additional symptoms include lower back pain and poor posture
What causes Diastasis Recti?
Diastasis Recti is caused by the stretching of a connective collagen sheath with excessive inner-abdominal pressure. This most frequently occurs in pregnant or postpartum women.
During pregnancy, the growing uterus expands your abdominal muscles and connective tissues, further aided by the hormones relaxin and estrogen. Pushing during delivery can also lead to diastasis recti.
Risk Factors & Complications
The rectus abdominis is a key member of the abdominal muscle team. Having a diastasis can affect healthy bodily functions and risk conditions such as:
- Back pain, particularly in the lumbar region.
- Decreased stability of the pelvis and trunk resulting in other conditions such as pelvic pain and poor posture
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Urinary incontinence
- Hernia (Severe cases)
Prevention
The transverse abdominal muscle (TVA) is the deepest abdominal layer and can be imagined as the body’s internal corset.
Until their stretched soft tissues heal, avoid straining these abdominal muscles as it will continue to pull the muscles apart at the center. These include actions such as:
- Heavy lifting
- Constipation
- Oblique and straight crunches
- Sit ups
Treatment
The natural resolution for DRA is about the first eight weeks after childbirth. If symptoms persist, it is unlikely to self recover.
To treat DRA, the core must be retrained to their optimal lines of performance such that the body can regain its healthy coordination.
Our Orchard Clinic method has seen 100% improvement rate and 98% success rate in DRA recovery.
