Meet Kelly, 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.

Some people call it a pooch, mommy tummy, or bulging abs, but the medical term is Diastasis Recti.

This condition involves the separation of abdominal muscles, often due to pregnancy, improper exercise or significant weight fluctuations. Along with this, many people experience a weakened pelvic floor, compounding the issue.

Symptomes & Consequences

Diastasis Recti can lead to several frustrating and uncomfortable symptoms. The most obvious is a protruding belly that remains even after weight loss or exercise. But the impact goes deeper. People report lower back pain, a sensation of weakness in their core, poor posture, and difficulty lifting even light objects. A weak pelvic floor can exacerbate these problems, contributing to symptoms like incontinence, hip pain, and even discomfort during intimacy. These issues can affect daily life and self-confidence.

Hi there,

I'm Kelly

I'm a Physical Therapist, a Speaker, and an Educator. I'm also the founder of the Tummy Team.

After multiple pregnancies and subsequent back pain, a protruding tummy, and weak core muscles, I started looking for answers. I felt alone and ashamed, but as a physical therapist I knew there was a solution. Once I found it I couldn't let another woman go through this alone.

As a woman, wife, mother, athlete and physical therapist specializing in rehabilitation of the internal muscles of the core and pelvic floor, I have a unique perspective and dedication to helping people rebuild their true core strength and gain confidence and connection throughout the process.

You CAN overcome challenges like back pain, protruding tummy and weak core that come from Diastasis Recti.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. By the time I found the Tummy Team, I had lived with chronic pain during years and tried all sorts of physical therapy and workout programs with no success. The courses offered helped me improve my quality of life in all the expected and MANY unexpected ways! I feel like a new person.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kelly Dean MPT is one of those amazing people who provides you with the knowledge and tools to help you heal yourself. Before our visit, she thoroughly reviewed my health history. During our conversation, she explained how my past physical injuries, treatments, and surgeries contributed to my long-term diastasis recti condition. Using her wisdom and experience, she then suggested the best plan of action to heal my body based on my specific diagnosis.

She has devoted her life to helping others with these conditions. Kelly is a gem, and I am incredibly thankful to be in her care on this journey.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I signed up for a year’s access to the bundle of women’s courses because I needed to address leaking and diastasis recti after having five kids. A week later I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I worked through all of the courses to rehab my core while also working through cancer treatments. The encouragement, clear instructions, careful pacing, and gentle yet effective exercises were invaluable when I was in brain fog from chemo and trying to rebuild strength and mobility after mastectomy. I finished that year stronger and happier than I started, with a healed core, a habit of daily exercise, and full strength and mobility in my surgery site. I highly recommend the Tummy Team!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have dealt with SPD pain for 2+ years. After seeing a chiro, a doctor, a pelvic floor physical therapist, I FINALLY found Kelly, and she has been able to already pinpoint such specific issues that nobody else could. She understands the physical limitations SPD brings, but she also understands the emotional and mental aspect of it as well. I will recommend her to anyone I know that is dealing with any postpartum issues. She is wonderful.

Update: I had my 5th baby last week, he came out at 8.14 pounds, and the whole pregnancy I assumed I would have a decent DR. I checked yesterday and barely had a one finger DR (unlike all my previous pregnancies where I had a 3-4 finger gap)!Also, after my first 4 pregnancies, I had that feeling of “where is my core? I can’t feel anything, there’s zero connection between me and my core.” But after this pregnancy, the first time I did Transverse breathing and holds, I was completely connected and there was no struggle at all!
I did Kelly’s courses all the way through my pregnancy, and am so thankful I did.

I tell everyone pregnant and post partum friend I have about The Tummy Team! It truly is life changing.
