Today we're talking about diastasis recti. So what exactly is it? Well, diastasis recti is a separation of the two halves of the abdominal muscles. We can see in males, females, even sometimes infants. However, most of the time we're going to see in our pregnant and postpartum patients. That's because with pregnancy and a growing baby, those muscles. of the abdomen are stretched, right? The good news is that connective tissue that holds the two halves of the abdominal muscles together is super stretchy, very resilient. So most of the time it's going to be able to go back to its original state. However, sometimes it needs a little extra help. And that's where physical therapy comes in. So diastasis recti is diagnosed with a simple physical exam. No advanced imaging is needed. Patients that suffer from diastasis recti can experience a jelly-like sensation beneath their belly button, even a bulging or coning. Sometimes it can even lead to pelvic floor dysfunction, urinary incontinence, low back pain. So definitely things to be on the lookout for. But like I mentioned, that connective tissue is super resilient and with, you know, proper help can go back to its normal state. However, it's super important to be under the care of a trained physical therapist as well as your physician. So you're not hurting yourself. There are exercises that are actually going to make it worse. So a lot of patients think, Hey, you know, if I just work on my core and do crunches and planks, it's going to get better. Those are no nos. Those are going to make it worse because we're increasing that abdominal pressure, right? So, we want to avoid V ups, traditional crunches, and planks. And exercises we do want to work on are diaphragmatic breathing, pelvic tilts, one legged, heel slides, as well as single legged heel drops.
