I am delighted to have Erica Ziel joining me for a two-part series!

Today, in Part 1, we discuss how important the pelvic floor is for quality of life and pain reduction, how to create space in your body through movement and posture, and the role fascial health plays in longevity.

When does diastasis recti tend to occur in women?

  • During pregnancy
  • When going back to intense exercise before their body is ready for it, postpartum
  • When not activating their deep core correctly, postpartum
  • When doing too many crunches, even before having babies
