Do you look like you are pregnant even though your kids are 4 and 7?
Do you do hundreds of crunches and ab work and still have a pooch?
Do you have back or hip pain?
Chances are you suffer from Diastasis Recti.
What is Diastasis Recti?
Diastasis Recti is the medical diagnosis for the separation of the Rectus Abdominis, the outermost abdominal muscles. With a diastasis, the connective tissue (linea alba) that connects to two halves of the recti abdominis (outer most abdominal muscles) becomes thin and fails to protect the organs. If the separation is severe the organs will actually protrude, creating that unsightly bulge in the belly.
A diastasis is caused by the continuous forward forceful pressure on the weak part (belly button) of the connective tissue of the rectus abdominis. The most common cause of diastasis is pregnancy due to the combination of the pressure of the growing uterus and the effects of the pregnancy hormone relaxin that allows the connective tissue to stretch more than usual.
A diastasis can also be caused by doing abdominal exercises incorrectly and performing day to day functional movements incorrectly. Once a diastasis is created, it does not go away on its own.
Anyone can get a diastasis. It is not gender specific.
A diastasis can be closed no matter when or how it was created by doing the research based Tupler TechniqueTM program. Repair and restoring the abdominal wall is possible without surgery.
