Diastasis recti, the medical term for abdominal separation, affects a significant number of postpartum moms—up to 60%, according to studies. If you’re navigating this issue, you’re not alone.
SVA in South Bay specializes in post-pregnancy recovery, offering programs designed to strengthen separated abdominal muscles. Guided by certified fitness professionals, these sessions aim to restore your core health while supporting your aesthetic and recovery goals. Together, we’ll help you rebuild strength and confidence.
What is Diastasis Recti (DR)?
Diastasis recti (diastasis rectus abdominis) is a condition where the six-pack muscles separate due to weakening. It is common during pregnancy when the growing baby places stress on the abdominal wall and stretches the connective tissue holding the muscles together.
More than an aesthetic concern, DR has functional consequences. Weakened abdominal muscles contribute to poor posture, imbalances, and injury risk. Without proper attention, core exercises can worsen the condition. Professional guidance is necessary for effective healing and strengthening.
Do You Have Separated Abdominal Muscles?
Postpartum women should watch for diastasis recti symptoms, including:
- A persistent “pooch” near the belly button.
- A jelly-like feel in the abdomen or doming during movements.
- Trouble lifting objects or managing everyday tasks.
- Pain in the lower back, pelvis, or hips due to pelvic floor issues.
- Weak core stability, poor posture, or urine leakage.
Professional help is critical for effective recovery. At Silicon Valley Athletics, we offer tailored programs to safely rebuild core strength. Start your journey by contacting us today!
