Does this
sound familiar?

You know your body best. If any of these feel familiar, you’re in the right place.

Persistent
"Mummy Tummy"

A persistent “mummy tummy” or pooch that still makes you look pregnant months or years after giving birth.

Visible
stomach doming

A distinct dome, cone, or ridge down the centre of your stomach when you sit up in bed.

Lower back pain
and core weakness

Chronic lower back pain and a feeling of core weakness or instability, despite rest.

If this sounds like you,

it isn't about weight or willpower,

it’s a structural change, and it can be rehabilitated.

You're
not alone

Abdominal separation after pregnancy is extremely common, and it doesn’t simply “go away with time” for everyone. Many women are told to just do more crunches, which can actually make it worse. The good news is that with the right targeted rehabilitation, the gap can be safely reduced.

Understanding
Diastasis Recti

A gentle explanation of what’s happening inside your body.

What is it?

Diastasis recti is a separation of the abdominal muscles down the midline of your stomach, most often caused by pregnancy. When the gap doesn't close on its own afterwards, it can leave your core weak and your lower back unsupported. It is a structural issue, and it responds well to the right clinical movement.

Why it happens?

During pregnancy your abdominal muscles stretch and separate to make room for your baby. For many women the gap narrows naturally, but for others it stays open, leaving the deep core unable to stabilise the spine.

Why the usual advice falls short?

This is why traditional gym crunches, intense planks, or tight passive binding often don't help, and can even widen the gap, because they create unmanaged outward pressure on an already separated muscle. Closing the gap takes targeted, progressive loading of the right muscles.

01 | How do I know if I have it?

A gap or bulge along your midline (especially when sitting up or straining) is a common sign — we can confirm it with a simple hands-on assessment.

Yes, in most cases. Combining Manual therapy, electrotherapy, targeted core exercises and guidance on safe movement can significantly improve or close the gap.

Yes, but certain movements (like crunches or heavy lifting) should be avoided until your core is stronger — we’ll guide you on what’s safe.

Sometimes, especially in the early postpartum months, but many people benefit from guided rehab to fully close the gap and restore core strength.
