Core Weakness and Diastasis Recti

Restore deep core support for strength that carries you through life.

What Is Diastasis Recti, Really?

Diastasis recti is more than abdominal separation; it reflects how pressure moves through the core. Pregnancy, repetitive stress, or certain movement habits can change how the deep abdominal muscles support your spine and pelvis.

Women often notice doming, bulging, weakness, or poor coordination during daily movement—especially when lifting, sitting up, or exercising.

Rebuilding Connection Through Breath and Movement

Successful recovery starts with retraining the deep core: the diaphragm, pelvic floor, transverse abdominis, and deep spinal stabilizers. When these muscles work together, the abdomen becomes stronger and more supportive.

A Gentle, Effective Approach

Pelvic PT helps improve breath patterns, posture, rib mobility, and deep core engagement. Therapy progresses gradually to ensure pressure is managed well, avoiding doming and strain.

How Therapy Helps

Treatment may include breath optimization, deep core activation drills, gradual strengthening, manual therapy for rib or abdominal tension, and guidance on safe, functional movement patterns.
