Aryane, It is good to be aware of what type of training belt, wrap or splint you are using. They are good for having that sensory reminder to keep optimal alignment, but if you're not careful, it is likely that your abdominal muscles will become dependant on these belts. It is also very important to consider how you're using your core during workouts. Any kind of forceful forward pressure against your abdominal wall will definitely contribute to worsening your diastasis. When you are exercising, try being more aware of keeping elongated postures and avoiding any crunch -like movements. Running, rowing and weight lifting are all okay to do if you do them right. However, sometimes we need to slow down, go back to the basics to safely strengthen the abdominals. So, I would suggest you look into our Core Foundations course as this walks you through how to be aware of your transverse abdominis (your innermost corset muscle), close your diastasis, and further strengthen your core. We also go over how to wear and wean from a splint correctly. The exercises we give you are rehabilitative, practical, and effective for your everyday life. We'd love to help you!

I'm glad you find our videos resourceful! Great question. It is very common for postpartum moms to struggle with diastasis recti (DR), and unfortunately, it is very underdiagnosed due to the lack of awareness & knowledge of the condition (including in the medical field as well as in the fitness community), as you mentioned and have experienced. It is very possible that because of this, you may have been doing counterproductive exercises and movements, causing your DR to worsen and therefore your back pain to worsen. Your back pain (and other possible symptoms) is your body compensating for a very weak core. Also, when there is a separation, your skin does lose its elasticity as there is less blood flow to that area. However, when we close this gap and reconnect your abdominals, this is able to restore and the more your core is connected, the more blood flow there will be. With all of this said, the truth is, DR is definitely able to heal and we can help you get there...this is our specialty! We have had many clients (online and in our clinic) who have come to us struggling with very wide and deep DR, along with other symptoms of functional core & pelvic floor weakness and have found healing, avoiding surgery completely. The times where we have had clients come to us and then have proceeded to have surgery are those preparing for c-sections or other abdominal surgeries. Otherwise, in 10 years of being in this business, we have only had 3 special cases with clinic clients who have been able to close their DR mostly and then proceed with surgery due to other past surgeries causing build up and adhesions. Regardless, we would love to help you restore your core strength and heal/close your diastasis. The best program we have for this is our Core Foundations program. You can look more into this at online.thetummyteam.com/core-foundations. If you want to get to know us more, visit our site at online.thetummyteam.com and check out our various informative pages, blogs & free resources. Also, please let us know if you have further questions or concerns and feel free to do so by email through our client form! I hope this helps.

We do encourage abdominal splinting as long as it is alongside core rehab. Splinting is only a part of the rehabilitative process, not the whole process. So if worn and used incorrectly, your muscles can become dependant on the splint (which is what we want to avoid). Rather, splints are meant to act as 'training wheels' to the rehab process. Throughout our courses, we teach you how to correctly wear and wean from your splint. You can read more about the benefits of splinting and how to correctly wear them at online.thetummyteam.com/splinting/benefits/ Let us know if you have further questions about this!

Thank you soooo much I will be looking into your offered programs because I really am desperate to recover so thanks again and I look forward to working with you all. God bless
