WHAT IS DR?
DIASTASIS RECTI is a separation of the outermost abdominal muscles. This can happen after pregnancy (most common), from doing specific activities throughout life, from doing activities incorrectly, excessive weight gain, abdominal surgery or it could have never closed properly after you were born.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS?
Separated muscles are weak muscles. Separated muscles cannot do their job of supporting your back and organs.
To achieve a strong core, your muscles must be close together. The sideways stretching of the connective tissue causes it to become thinner and weaker.
WHAT ARE THE LONG TERM EFFECTS?
Bloating, back pain, digestive issues, pelvic floor issues, constipation, hernias, posture and more.
