How to identify diastasis recti after pregnancy
Diastasis recti is a condition where the abdominal muscles separate, often occurring during pregnancy. The linea alba, a band of tissue connecting the rectus abdominis muscles, stretches and weakens, causing a gap. Common symptoms include a noticeable midline bulge and core weakness. Exercises emphasizing proper core engagement and avoiding movements that strain the midsection can aid recovery. Consultation with a healthcare professional or physical therapist is crucial for tailored guidance and exercises to address diastasis recti.
