Meet Kelly Dean, MPT

We need to stop normalizing core and pelvic floor dysfunction just because the symptoms are common.

Common and normal are NOT the same thing.

Are you suffering from a bulging or bloated belly? Maybe you have a trench or gap in your abdominals. This can be a sign of Diastasis Recti and it can cause numerous issues including back pain, core weakness, and intestinal challenges (constipation).

What is Diastasis Recti?

Diastasis Recti is a medical condition where the abdominal wall stretches down the midline (at the linea alba) and causes separation and bulging or trenching in the tummy. Although it is more common in women due to the hormonal and physical demands of pregnancy, Men suffer from diastasis recti too.

A stretched abdominal wall can be the cause of...

  • Lower Back Pain
  • Incontinence
  • Movement Discomfort
  • Constipation
  • Difficulty Breathing
  • Weakened power in your core
