Description

This book’s exercise program is designed to be gentle and effective for diastasis recti, core weakness, pelvic floor disorders including pelvic organ prolapse, and general hypermobility.

DIASTASIS RECTI, AN UNNATURAL SEPARATION OF THE ABDOMINAL MUSCLES, IS NOT JUST A “WEAK CORE.” IT’S A SYMPTOM OF A WHOLE-BODY PROBLEM.

Your abdominal muscles have many important jobs—helping you do everything from twisting your spine to singing, accommodating pregnancy, and protecting your abdominal organs. They will have to not be splitting down the middle.

In Diastasis Recti: The Whole-Body Solution to Abdominal Weakness and Separation, biomechanist Katy Bowman explains the larger picture in relation to DR—including body alignment; frequency of movement; the effects of all-day forces, like intra-abdominal pressure; and why that specialize in doing a couple of exercises doesn’t continuously result in long-term success. You will have to learn a new way to move for an improved set of core muscles.

Diastasis Recti presents:
• why it’s better to think about a diastasis as a symptom than as “the problem”
• how your current movement habits will also be worsening your separation
• five postural adjustments to make immediately
• why mainstream core exercises like crunches and planks can make a diastasis worse
• how to take a seat, stand, and walk for a stronger “whole body” core

With over 30 exercises and habit modifications, this book presents a whole-body corrective program to address the forces overloading the core in the first place. Diastasis Recti is for any man or woman wanting to strengthen both the appearance and the function of their abdomen.
