Get a tummy tuck…. And get over it.
What is the best way to heal it?
I’ve had a problem getting my diastasis recti strength back ever since I had my last child 20 something years ago….
Even before I had kids I had, the only way to describe it, a pouch in my lower stomach.
There is no answer to the question in this video, unfortunately.
How soon after fixing my diastasis recti can I return to normal exercises like crunches, planks and so on?
I found this really helpful and encouraging. I thought the gap had to be gone to consider myself healed and go back to planks. Thanks, Amy!
can the diastasis recti be bulging? Mine is more of a bulging. I have addressed this with a few doctors and they all brushed it off as I have 'stretched out' skin due to having 4 pregnancies. the area the most is just around the belly button area. I have two fingers wide and with my index finger- up to my second (middle) knuckle deep. Is that considered 'normal'?
Thank you for your response and support.
I had 1-2 finger gap. And after watching this, I began to do crucnhes, sit ups and hard stuff. But It has gone worse. now I' ve turned back to diastasis recti workouts.
Thanks for sharing! Is it normal to have no gap (firm line everywhere) but have a squishy 1 finger gap at the belly button? I can go down to the first bend in my finger at my belly button. Do I need to do anything specific to help it? Besides that I feel strong and able to do just about any exercise.
