Diastasis Recti

A one-page care plan for patients with Diastasis Recti, covering Purpose, Prevention & Protection, Expectations & Execution, Nutrition, Next Steps & Numbers, Consistency & Clarity, Indications and Lifestyle & Long-Term Success.

In this plan

  1. Purpose, Prevention & Protection

    • I understand this is stretched belly tissue, not a torn muscle, but a hernia may also be present
    • I protect my core by rolling to my side before sitting up and using good form when lifting
    • I breathe out during lifting, exercise, coughing, and other hard effort instead of holding my breath
    • I avoid constipation, heavy straining, and movements that cause pain or strong outward bulging
