diastasis recti - seperation of the abs

[BradN]

Hi All,

I was wondering if any of the women on this forum have has any experience/luck mitigating the issue?

My wife has been sort-of running the programs, and one of the major motivations has been to lose weight/asthetics. If anyone has
1. a good experience fixing the issue by running the program (encouragement)
2. any tips/tricks that would make it get better (some assistance work that's useful perhaps?)

I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Brad

Have you asked Marc in the Q&A? You might want to try submitting a thread in there and see what happens.

I'm new but my wife suffers from diastasis recti due to previous pregnancies. She had a 4 finger gap and now its reduced to a 2 finger gap. Her recovery has been attributed to a book she read. Not sure of all the details and may not all apply to you. But her name is Katy Bowman. Her website is Nutritious Movement – You Are How You Movhttps://nutritiousmovement.come/ . I believe she has written articles on it and has a podcast or two about it. Her book on diastasis recti is found here.
