Diastasis Recti

Diastasis recti is a condition characterised by the separation of the abdominal muscles, specifically the rectus abdominis, which is the muscle that runs down the center of the abdomen. This separation creates a gap, causing the left and right sides of the abdomen to separate, often leading to a protruding belly.

What is:

Diastasis Recti

Diastasis recti is a condition characterised by the separation of the abdominal muscles, specifically the rectus abdominis, which is the muscle that runs down the center of the abdomen. This separation creates a gap, causing the left and right sides of the abdomen to separate, often leading to a protruding belly. Often happens during pregnancy.

How to Treat: 

Diastasis Recti

  • Targeted Abdominal Exercises: Exercises that focus on strengthening the transverse abdominis and pelvic floor muscles to help close the gap caused by diastasis recti.
  • Physical Therapy: A personalised physical therapy program can be designed to address muscle imbalances, improve posture, and gradually close the separation.
  • Breathing Techniques: Diaphragmatic breathing techniques that engage the core and promote the natural activation of the abdominal muscles.
  • Gradual Progression: A gradual approach to exercise is crucial, avoiding movements that worsen the separation and focusing on activities that promote core stability.
  • Nutritional Guidance: Seek guidance to support overall health and assist in weight management, which can contribute to the reduction of diastasis recti.
  • Emsculpt: This treatment that we offer at Aesthetica Medical Spa, allows core strengthening through a non-invasive procedure. Each session is equivalent to 20,000 setups or 10,000 bicep curls but under maximal contraction. Something that cannot be achieved by human power alone.
