Do You Have Diastasis Recti- DRA? Is This Why You Pee Your Pants Postpartum? What The New Research Says And Treatment From A Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist

HI FRIEND,

Have you been told that or are wondering if you have diastasis recti or DRA also known as ab separation/gap? In this episode I explain what in the world that actually means for your body after babies and the newest research supporting that the gap isn't really what we should be worrying about!

Sadly, there is a lot of fear-based marketing out there! So, I also answer does the gap really contribute to leaking? The solution to this is organized in my ⁠⁠⁠online course ⁠Stop Peeing Your Pants.

You see this linea alba? This is what is actually just stretching! And get this- it was DESIGNED TO DO THIS! You don’t have an “injury”, it’s just your tissue that has adapted to being stretched as baby(ies), grew! Which is a blessing!

So why do some women experience having a super wide or deep diastasis recti and others don’t postpartum? That’s a lot to unpack, but I do so in the episode!

Did you know 100% of women going into labor technically have diastasis recti abdominis?!
