Diastasis Recti Services offered in Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal

Diastasis recti is a condition that occurs when the abdominal muscles separate during pregnancy or childbirth, and it can lead to various complications such as lower back pain, urinary incontinence, and digestive issues.

To address diastasis recti, there are a number of exercises and therapy sessions that can help. Here are a few options:

  • Physical therapy: A physical therapist can create a customized exercise program to help strengthen the muscles and close the gap. They can also provide manual therapy, such as massage or stretching, to help reduce any discomfort associated with the condition.
  • Pilates: Pilates can be a great way to strengthen the abdominal muscles and improve posture, which can help reduce the gap caused by diastasis recti. Make sure to work with a certified instructor who has experience working with clients with this condition.
  • Yoga: Certain yoga poses can help strengthen the abdominal muscles and improve overall core strength, which can be helpful for people with diastasis recti. Again, make sure to work with a qualified instructor who can guide you through the appropriate poses.
  • Functional fitness training: Functional fitness exercises that target the core muscles, such as planks and bird dogs, can help improve core strength and reduce the gap caused by diastasis recti.
  • Diastasis recti-specific programs: There are several online programs and apps that offer exercises specifically designed to address diastasis recti. These programs can be a helpful resource for people looking to work on their own at home.

Remember that it’s important to work with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the best treatment plan for your individual needs.
