How to Tone, Sculpt, and Resolve Diastasis Recti
"Keller's method is opening our eyes to the idea that a stubborn bulge may not be as stubborn as we once thought."
Diastasis recti, also known as abdominal wall separation, is the separation of the abdominal muscle or "six-pack" muscles that runs vertically along the midline of the body. 60 to 70 percent of women experience some degree of diastasis recti after pregnancy. Yet, far too often, care providers dismiss it as a cosmetic issue a "stubborn pooch" that can only be resolved with surgery or vigorous exercise.
What they don't tell you is that surgery and many conventional exercises strain the connective tissue in the abdomen and can further exacerbate or injure diastasis recti.

RACHEL
The program made me feel strong and in control of my body during a time when a mom-to-be can feel her body is out of her control.
DAWN
My back pain improved 100% within two weeks of doing the Reclaim Program and I haven't had problems since!
GINGER
The app has made it so easy to follow a program and remain accountable. It may sound silly, but completing the day's worth of check marks is so satisfying!
Diastasis recti: what is it, what are the symptoms, and how can you fix it? If you are living with a stubborn pooch reminiscent of a classic pregnancy bump after delivery, if you are experiencing back pain, a widened waistline, or pelvic floor dysfunction, then it's time to self-check for diastasis recti.
Diastasis recti, also known as abdominal wall separation, is the separation of the abdominal muscle or "six-pack" muscles that runs vertically along the midline of the body. 60 to 70 percent of women experience some degree of diastasis recti after pregnancy. Yet, far too often, care providers dismiss it as a cosmetic issue a "stubborn pooch" that can only be resolved with surgery or vigorous exercise.
What they don't tell you is that surgery and many conventional exercises strain the connective tissue in the abdomen and can further exacerbate or injure diastasis recti.
If you experience one or more of the below symptoms, you might be suffering from diastasis recti:
Urinary stress incontinence (leaking when you sneeze or cough or run)
Pelvic prolapse
Hernia (ventral and umbilical)
A widened waistline
A stubborn pooch
It also increases the risk of injury due to core weakness, compromised posture, and instability.
The key to resolving abdominal wall separation and improving core health and function lies in correct training of the deepest abdominal muscle—the transverse abdominis (TVA). The TVA is your natural corset—it inserts into the spine, the hips, the ribs, and the pelvis, and it wraps around the entire torso.
Every Mother's EMbody Reclaim stage does just that.
Diastasis recti exercises recruit and engage the transverse abdominis while coordinating muscle engagement with breathing and appropriate pelvic floor activation. Every Mother's EMbody programming walks women through all the subtleties of these movements to maximize the therapeutic impact of our foundational exercise, Core Compressions™, which are clinically proven to prevent and resolve diastasis recti in less than 10 minutes a day.
This, combined with over 100+ core safe exercises, completed in less than 30 minutes a day, two to four days a week, help to build strength and stamina for every stage of motherhood.
Improvements in back pain are often reported within three to four days of performing our Core Compressions. When consistently following our program, women often see a visible, measurable change in their abdomen in ten days. In a study Weill Cornell conducted of sixty-three women who followed Every Mother's Reclaim stage, 100 percent achieved full resolution of diastasis recti in less than twelve weeks.
The EMbody Program is segmented into three paths to fit every stage of motherhood, fitness level, and lifestyle. To learn more about the Every Mother® diastasis recti program, the only proven program to restore core strength and function, visit every-mother.com.
