Men Have Diastasis Too

Kelly explains how men often present with very different symptoms than women: belly bulging, poor posture, hernias, back pain, or even digestive issues. Many don’t realize core weakness is at the root of these problems, and unfortunately, most healthcare providers don’t screen men for diastasis.

A Unique Presentation, A Unique Path to Healing

Rehabilitation for men often looks different. Kelly outlines how their body mechanics, breathing patterns, and tension responses require a tailored approach. Still, the same foundational principles—alignment, breath, neuromuscular re-education, and functional strength—make a powerful difference.

Changing the Conversation Around Male Core Health

Kelly reflects on how outdated cultural narratives about masculinity often discourage men from seeking help. But more and more men are showing up ready to take care of themselves, and The Tummy Team is here to support that journey. Whether it’s through Core Foundations for Men or individual support, healing is not only possible—it’s transformational.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Diastasis recti is more common in men than most people realize.

• Men often experience symptoms like hernias, bloating, or back pain without understanding the cause.

• Core rehabilitation for men must account for their specific posture and movement patterns.

• It's time to normalize male core rehab—because functional strength matters for everyone.
