Abdominal separation, also called diastasis recti, is a common condition affecting postpartum moms. With up to 60% of women experiencing this after pregnancy, you’re far from alone in this journey.
SVA in Mountain View offers expertly designed programs to address abdominal separation and support your recovery. Our certified trainers help strengthen your core while keeping your overall health in mind. With our support, you’ll rebuild abdominal strength and move closer to your postpartum goals.
What is Diastasis Recti (DR)?
Diastasis recti (DR), medically referred to as diastasis rectus abdominis, is the separation and weakening of the rectus abdominis muscles that form the six-pack. This condition is common in pregnancy, where the expanding uterus places pressure on the abdominal wall, straining the connective tissue between the muscles.
DR isn’t only about appearance; it has functional consequences. Weak core muscles can lead to posture issues, imbalances, and a higher likelihood of injury. Attempting to train the core without addressing DR can worsen the separation and prolong recovery. Safe and effective rehabilitation requires expert care and guidance.
Do You Have Separated Abdominal Muscles?
Postpartum diastasis recti often comes with these telltale signs:
- A stubborn “pooch” near the belly button.
- A soft abdomen or doming effect when muscles engage.
- Difficulty lifting objects or managing everyday tasks.
- Pelvic floor issues, such as lower back, pelvic, or hip pain.
- Core instability, poor posture, or urinary leakage.
Don’t wait to address these symptoms. Silicon Valley Athletics offers expert-led training programs designed to restore core strength effectively. Start your path to recovery by contacting us today!
