THE DIASTASIS RECTI SOLUTION
WHAT IS DIASTASIS?
The rectus abdominis can be harmed in many cases during pregnancy. The muscles separate in the line of the belly button, vertically. This can be caused by many things, but can’t be avoided. Apart from aesthetically covering our organs, abdominal muscles serve as support. If it gets damaged, then can not fulfill its function and can make moms life very difficult, and because of the extra load on the abs when lifting the babies, can cause serious ailments (e.g. hernia, incontinence of urine..)
If we learn how to use our muscles properly and do the appropriate exercises, the abdominal muscles are able to get strong and the gap between the muscles can be reduced to minimal.
HOW CAN YOU IDENTIFY IF YOU HAVE A GAP AND MEASURE THE SIZE OF THE OPENING?
Lie down on your back, bend your knees, feet on the floor close to your buttocks. Place your fingers on your belly, bellybutton height. Slowly lift your head. The abdominal muscles will contract and you can identify the size of the gap from the belly button down and up.
Who can benefit from the LoveYourBelly program?
There are very limited safe exercises available for those who have different spinal and joint problems, or for ladies diagnosed with diastasis (open abdominal muscles) after birth. The specific exercises of the LoveYourBelly recovery program can be performed with safety, even in these cases, as during the exercises we completely take the load off the spine and focus on strengthening the abdominal muscles, without any risks.
The LoveYourBelly exercises are recommended:
- if you’d like to get rid of fat around your belly
- for those with hernia (bellybutton, groin, spine)
- diastasis – open abdominal muscles after birth
