How To Check For DIASTASIS RECTI? | Ab Separation Self Check

Описание: How To Check For DIASTASIS RECTI? | Ab Separation Self Check
DR is separation of your ab muscle so anybody can get it but it’s the most common in pregnancy. We all get a little bit of it during pregnancy but some of us have a little bit more considered a diastasis recti. So if you think you have it I would strongly encouraged you to get an official diagnosis from you doctor or a midwife or a physical therapist.

DR occurs when the rectus abdominis muscles (six-pack ab muscles) separate during pregnancy from being stretched. The amount of separation can vary. It happens because your growing womb (uterus) pushes the muscles apart, making them longer and weaker.
The separation can make a person's belly stick out or bulge months or years postpartum. It can be repaired with special exercises that help to close the separation.

Certain movements will make abdominal separation worse. During the postpartum period, there are some modifications you should make:
• Avoid lifting anything heavier than your baby.
• Roll onto your side when getting out of bed or sitting up
• Use your arms to push yourself up.
• Skip activities and movements that push your abdominals outward (like crunches and sit-ups).


What movements make diastasis recti worse?
Any movement that bulges the abdominal wall forward can cause more damage to your diastasis recti. Everyday movements like getting out of bed or up off a chair can worsen diastasis. Try to be mindful about how you are using your abdominals as you go about your day.

These exercise movements should be avoided if you have diastasis recti:
• Crunches or sit-ups of any kind.
• Planks or push-ups (unless using modifications).

• Any exercise that causes your abdominals to bulge, cone or dome.

How long will it take to heal my diastasis recti?
The amount of time it takes to heal diastasis recti depends on the amount of ab separation and how consistent you are with strengthening exercises. After several weeks postpartum, this gap will start to close as your muscles regain strength. If you're making modifications to your lifestyle and performing exercises with good form, you're more likely to notice progress.

Is it too late to fix my diastasis recti?
It's never too late to repair your diastasis recti. With the proper exercises, you can fix your ab separation years after you've delivered your last baby.
