The Truth About Tummy Tucks, Diastasis Recti And Bladder Leaks

HI FRIEND,

Today's episode is inspired by my patients who have had tummy tucks or are considering whether it’s the next step for them.

If you’re still dealing with bladder leaks every time you run, jump, sneeze, or cough—even after having a tummy tuck or physical therapy—you’re not alone. Many moms believe that surgery is the ultimate fix for diastasis recti (DRA) and stress incontinence, but the truth is, a tummy tuck alone doesn’t address the root cause of bladder leakage: poor pressure management and weak core coordination. In this episode, we break down what diastasis recti is, why traditional PT might not be enough, and the crucial role of pelvic floor rehab in postpartum recovery. Whether you've had a mommy makeover or you're simply looking for lasting relief, understanding how to properly brace your core and manage intra-abdominal pressure is key to stopping those embarrassing leaks for good.

Recovering from a tummy tuck or mommy makeover is no easy feat—it’s a journey that requires the right guidance and tools. I’ve created a structured, surgeon-approved plan where I’ll guide you through each phase of healing so you can confidently get back to the activities you love.

I would love to invite you to my course ⁠Stop Peeing Your Pants , where you can get rid of this problem all together, and become leak-free in 90 days or less! We really shouldn’t have an issue with holding our bladder and there is always a deeper cause. For example, when I was dealing with urge incontinence, my root cause was the food/drinks that were in my diet because there were so many bladder irritants I was consuming. I lead you through all of this, the education, workouts, and have a plan on a calendar, a 1:1 session with me, private facebook group for Q & A’s! Check out both tier options below!
