Seeing a chiropractor who specializes in prenatal and postnatal rehabilitation holds considerable benefits for diastasis recti prevention and recovery.

Here are a few key advantages:

1. Personalized Exercise Plans:

We can provide you with a tailored exercise program designed specifically to heal the separated abdominal muscles and prevent the condition from worsening.

2. Avoidance of Improper Exercises: 

Certain exercises can worsen diastasis recti if not done properly. A chiropractor specializing in rehab helps to avoid these and suggests safe alternatives.

3. Pregnant and Postpartum Support: 

If you're pregnant or have recently given birth, we can provide exercises and advice to prevent diastasis recti or address an existing condition, fostering a safer pregnancy and smoother recovery process.

4. Pain Management: 

Diastasis recti can sometimes cause neighboring muscles to overcompensate, leading to back hip pain or pelvic floor discomfort. Chiropractic care paired with rehabilitation can help manage and reduce this pain.

5. Strengthen Core Muscles:

The ultimate goal of this form of care is to provide mobility into restricted areas of the spine and strengthen the areas of weakness, including enhancing the strength and stability of the core and pelvic floor muscles.

6.Posture Improvements:

Poor posture may exacerbate diastasis recti. We can guide you through exercises and give advice to improve your posture, which can aid in healing and preventing further separation.

7. Psychological Boost: 

With guidance from a trained professional, you may regain confidence in your body's strength and capabilities, and you'll appreciate the progress you make in your recovery journey.

 

By seeking care from a provider who specializes in diastasis recti prevention and recovery, patients set the groundwork for improved physical health and resilience.
