Diastasis means that the right and left bands of the rectus abdominis muscle move apart and the connective tissue between them weakens. It appears mainly after pregnancy, when the abdominal wall has been stretching for many months along with the growing belly. The abdominal wall, diaphragm and pelvic floor work as one unit, so in therapy we work on all three at once.
What we can help you with
- diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscles,
- urine leakage when coughing, sneezing, jumping or running,
- a feeling of pressure or heaviness in the lower abdomen,
- back, pelvic or tailbone pain after childbirth,
- returning to sport and more demanding training.
How the therapy works
The foundation is breathing and the cooperation of the diaphragm, abdominal wall and pelvic floor. We gradually add exercises that teach these muscles to work together in everyday activities, when carrying your child and in sport. We adapt the pace to your condition and never force anything.
You can work on diastasis and the pelvic floor even years after giving birth. If you gave birth recently, start with a postpartum check-up.
