The Importance of Postpartum Diastasis Recti Recovery

Postpartum diastasis recti is a common condition that occurs in women during pregnancy and childbirth. It is characterized by the separation of the abdominal muscles, resulting in a bulging or protruding belly. This condition can cause discomfort, pain, and reduced functionality. That's where physical therapy plays a crucial role in aiding your recovery.

Understanding Diastasis Recti

Diastasis recti is a condition that affects the linea alba, the connective tissue between the left and right rectus abdominis muscles. During pregnancy, the growing uterus puts pressure on this tissue, causing it to thin and stretch. As a result, the abdominal muscles separate, creating a gap.

Postpartum diastasis recti commonly occurs in women who have had multiple pregnancies, delivered large babies, or had a premature birth. It can also be influenced by hormonal factors and genetics. While the condition is natural and usually improves in the months following childbirth, specialized physical therapy can accelerate the healing process and prevent associated complications.

The Role of Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is an essential component of postpartum diastasis recti recovery. Hello Physio SG offers a range of comprehensive services tailored to your specific needs. Our highly skilled physical therapists will guide you through a personalized treatment plan that aims to strengthen your abdominal muscles and promote optimal healing.

Targeted Exercises

Our physical therapy sessions will focus on exercises specifically designed to address diastasis recti. These exercises target the deep core muscles, including the transverse abdominis and pelvic floor muscles, to help close the gap between the abdominal muscles. By engaging these muscle groups, you can improve core stability and regain functional strength.

Our experienced physical therapists will guide you through each exercise, ensuring proper form and technique to maximize the effectiveness of your sessions. They will also provide modifications based on your individual progress, ensuring that you always feel challenged yet comfortable throughout your recovery journey.

Corrective Techniques

In addition to targeted exercises, our physical therapists will teach you corrective techniques that can be incorporated into your daily routine. These techniques involve postural alignment and proper body mechanics to avoid putting unnecessary strain on your abdominal muscles.

By learning how to engage your core during everyday activities, such as lifting, carrying, and bending, you can protect your abdominal muscles from further damage and promote optimal healing. Our physical therapists will provide you with personalized guidance and recommendations to ensure your safety and progress.

Pain Management

Postpartum diastasis recti can be accompanied by pain and discomfort. Our physical therapists are trained to provide pain management techniques that can alleviate your symptoms and enhance your overall well-being.

Through modalities such as therapeutic ultrasound, heat therapy, and manual techniques, our experts will help reduce inflammation, improve blood circulation, and relieve pain related to diastasis recti. They will also educate you on self-management strategies, such as ice and heat therapy, to use at home between sessions for ongoing relief.
