Have an idea? Let's talk!

Wanna know about Diastasis Recti❓ A lot of people ask me about ‘Abs’ but there’s so much more to rehabilitating your core postnatally! I’ve suffered with Diastasis Recti after giving birth to both my children (which believe it or not is really common). Over HALF of postnatal women struggle with this to varying degrees. 😮 And although you may see my ‘abs’, I personally STILL have a gap of ruffly 1cm around my belly button. Here’s some things you might not know about DR: - 🌼 Over 60% of women with suffer with DR postnatally. 🌼 A gap of 2cm or less can be healed with exercise and nutritional advice. A lager gap may need further medical attention. 🌼 DR is not purely a Rectus Abdominus issue. In order to recover appropriately a whole core approach much be taken, including multi-layered abdominal work, Pelvic floor and lower back exercises. 🌼Did you know that stress can impact recovery? So take time to relax and rest during the immediate postnatal period. 🌼Diastasis Recti does not need to ‘fully’ close postnatally in order for it to be considered ‘functional’. Training the surrounding muscles can help support a small gap and assist the body with transferring load efficiently across the core. - A more detailed blog post coming soon on this (keep your eyes of my stories for its release 👀)... but any more questions just give me a shout! - Happy Fit family Friday! 😃🙋🏽‍♀️ #stronglikemum
