Ep. #995: The Definitive Guide to Diastasis Recti (Including How to Fix It)


Listen Later

Do you have or know someone who has diastasis recti? This is when the abdominal muscles separate, which causes abdominal pain, abdominal weakness, and visual abnormalities. It’s especially prevalent during the late stages of pregnancy and childbirth, and while this condition can resolve itself and often does, at least partially, there are things you can do to accelerate the process or complete the process if it has been a while and your abs have not gone back to normal, they have not fully closed.

So in this podcast, you’re going to learn what diastasis recti is, how to check for it, and how to correct it. I'm also going to share some excellent exercises you can do to help fix it, as well as a six week training program, and more.
