"With 100% Of Our Clients Their Mummy Tummy is 
NOT Caused By JUST Diastasis Recti"


Health2mama

Believe You Have Diastasis Recti?


You are not alone! This is a very common issue to have after Pregnancy whether Weeks, Months or Years After.

So many women like yourself find they have a stubborn protruding Mummy Tummy sticking around which does not just seem to go what ever you try. Often people Self Diagnose themselves to have Diastasis Recti or have a Professional tell them they have it!!

However what needs to change is the beliefs around Diastasis Recti and that it never causes Mummy Tummy by itself. There are always other factors that come into play to create the Protruding Tummy!

Read On!





What Happens In Diastasis Recti?


It is a separation of the 6 pack abdominal muscles to accommodate the increasing pressures that happen within as a result of the growing baby and fetus.

It happens to every woman in the later stages of Pregnancy and for some it resolves by 8 weeks after birth. For others it stays around.  



But Is It Just Diastasis Recti Causing Your Issues?


It is unlikely to be the case. This image shows a woman with a prominent Diastasis Recti but a completely flat stomach as she has no fat, great core strength and restored ab muscles. Proving that is normally a combination of reasons that can cause a Mummy Tummy such as:

  • Ab Muscles Lengthening & Thinning Out
  • Excess Fat
  • Excess Skin
  • Reduced Core Muscle Strength
  • C Section Scar Adhesions
  • Bloating  





This is Why We Created The 

Ultimate Abs Fab Program

This Program is the Only One Of Its Kind.   It involves a Crucial First Consult where you are fully Assessed and the Causes of YOUR Mummy Tummy Are Concluded. 

 Then the Right Treatments for YOU Can Include:

  • Musculpting Fat Burning Treatment 
  • Core Training With Exclusive Online Workouts
  • Belly Flattening Nutrition Advice & Recipes







FAQ's

Yes, it's possible for Diastasis Recti to improve and heal on its own, especially in the first few months after giving birth. However, with at least 40% of mums it it may require specific exercises and lifestyle changes to fully heal.

Yes, some exercises can potentially worsen Diastasis Reciy by putting too much strain on the abdominal muscles by creating high pressures inside of you.  Exercises that can do this can include FULL Sit Ups, Ab Exercises including double leg lowers and Planks.  Also intense workouts or heavy weights can create too much pressure for your core and body to cope with and should be avoided until your condition improves.

Yes, Diastasis Recti can contribute to lower back pain. When the abdominal muscles weaken and separate, it affects the stability of the core, and this can lead to increased stress on the back muscles.  Doing specific core workout exercises like the ones in our Abs Fab Program in our Health2mama APP will help improve your core strength and reduce back pain.

No, surgery is not the only option. In fact, many cases of Diastasis Recti can be managed effectively with physical therapy, specialised exercises, and lifestyle changes. It is recommended to try conservative methods first for up to a year before considering surgery.  It is not for the Faint hearted having surgery to repair Diastasis Recti.  It involves major abdominal surgery and there is a long recovery period in addition to activities such as heavier weight lifting and running not being allowed until at least 6 months.  Another thing to consider is how old your children.  For example you will not be able to lift your children for several weeks if not months following surgery so this is something you should also consider in regards to how old your children are.

The healing process is different in length from person to person.  Some can progress swiftly through the 4 Levels of the ABs FAb Program workouts in a few weeks.  Others can take months. A lot depends on individual circumstances and the severity of your Diastasis Recti. What we provide is Physio supervision and motivation helping to check if you are doing the exercises correctly and helping to motivate and progress you through the workouts.

Absolutely! In fact, exercise can be beneficial for Diastasis Recti. However, it's crucial to choose exercises that are safe and specifically designed for this condition. Our Health2mama APP will guide you on how to exercise safely including Safe Toning, HIIT and Yoga Workouts.   Our Abs Fab Program with the core workouts is created in a way to be individual meeting your needs and abilities.

Absolutely! Maintaining good posture throughout the day, practicing gentle core engagement during activities, avoiding heavy lifting, and Keeping Up with doing your Core Workouts in the Abs Fab Program will help.

Yes, Diastasis Recti can impact future pregnancies. If you've had Diastasis Recti in a previous pregnancy, there's a higher likelihood of experiencing it again.   Therefore it is really important to try and get it under control ideally before becoming pregnant again.  Do not hold back.  Book in now to see one of our Specialists to help you start on your way.
