DIASTASIS RECTI

Diastasis Recti Treatment


Diastasis recti is a separation of the abdominal muscles, commonly occurring during and after pregnancy, which can lead to core weakness and lower back pain. Physiotherapy helps restore core strength, improve posture, and support abdominal function to enhance overall stability.


What to Expect in Physiotherapy


Your physiotherapist will assess the degree of muscle separation and core control. Treatment includes targeted exercises to gently bring the abdominal muscles together, improve pelvic floor strength, and correct posture. Education on safe movement and lifting techniques is also provided to support healing.
