Physiotherapy for Diastasis Recti

Diastasis Recti, also known as abdominal separation, is a common condition that occurs during pregnancy or after childbirth. It is characterized by the stretching and weakening of the connective tissue between the rectus abdominis muscles, resulting in a visible bulge or gap in the midline of the abdomen. While it can be a frustrating and distressing condition, physiotherapy offers effective solutions to help you regain strength and functionality.

The Benefits of Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the recovery process for diastasis recti. It focuses on strengthening the core muscles, improving posture, and promoting overall abdominal health. Here are some of the benefits you can expect:

• Restoring Abdominal Strength: Physiotherapists use targeted exercises to address the weakened muscles and restore their strength. These exercises are tailored to your individual needs and can effectively close the gap between the rectus abdominis muscles.
• Improving Pelvic Stability: Diastasis recti can have a significant impact on pelvic stability, which may lead to other complications such as lower back pain and urinary incontinence. Physiotherapy can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and improve stability, reducing the risk of further issues.
• Enhancing Overall Core Function: The core muscles play a crucial role in maintaining stability and supporting the spine. Through physiotherapy, you can strengthen your core muscles, improving their function and reducing the strain on your abdominal area.
• Addressing Posture and Alignment: Pregnancy and diastasis recti can sometimes alter your posture and alignment, leading to discomfort and pain. Physiotherapists can provide guidance on proper posture and alignment to alleviate these issues and promote optimal healing.
• Personalized Treatment Plans: Each individual's condition is unique, and physiotherapy offers personalized treatment plans based on your specific needs. Your physiotherapist will assess your condition, develop a tailored plan, and provide ongoing support throughout your recovery.
