How to Check yourself for a diastasis
Diastasis Recti can happen to men and women, regardless of age, weight or fitness level. When our internal core muscles are weak, deflated and inactive, our body is forced to live in collapsed postures or to use bracing or bearing down to stabilize our body. Consistent forward forceful pressure on the abdominal wall causes excessive stretching to the connective tissue that runs right down the middle. Typically this damage occurs over time from pushing out on on the tummy with chronic poor postures, traditional abdominal exercises like crunches, sit-ups or planks, chronic constipation, and habitual bracing or bearing down. Often the bracing and protective posturing of the abdominal wall is also connected to past core trauma and resulting emotional and physical disconnect.
