Diastasis Recti Care at Breakaway
One of the most common complaints postpartum is diastasis recti. This term describes the stretching or thinning of the tissue that connects your rectus abdominis muscles at the midline of the abdomen. In all pregnancies, this area has to separate to some capacity to make room for growing baby but when the tissue weakness results in herniation, pain, or incontinence it’s considered pathological and needs to be addressed.
Symptoms of Diastasis Recti
While some women experience no symptoms at all, others can develop a protruding belly, back pain, and even pelvic floor dysfunction from an abdominal separation or diastasis recti. If you are experiencing any of the below symptoms, it’s important to have an assessment to prevent further complications and ensure the integrity of your core stability. What to look for:
