Postnatal Core Essentials
Heal Safely.
Reduce Separation.
Feel Connected.
Abdominal separation or rectus diastasis can cause a lot of confusion and fear. Abdominal separation is a normal and necessary part of pregnancy. As a physio-led program, we are passionate about helping you to healy your core safely after birth, reduce abdominal separation and feel stronger than before.
What is abdominal separation?
Were you surprised to see that your tummy still looked 6 months pregnant after birth? We know it is a shock for most women.
Abdominal separation results from the thinning and weakening of the linea alba. The linea alba is a band of connective tissue that stretches from your breastbone to your pubic bone. As your pregnancy progresses and the uterus expands, the linea alba grows thinner and wider and the inter-recti distance between the two sides of your rectus abdominis increases.
It is a natural part of pregnancy and can usually be healed with the right exercises and movement patterns
What is the EMP approach to healing abdominal separation?
The thinning and weakening of the abdominal wall contributes to the degree and depth of abdominal separation you will experience. In the Empowered Motherhood Program, we support women to heal their abdominal wall safely, so that you can reduce abdominal separation and feel stronger than ever.
Watch the video below for some of the go-to postnatal core exercises in the EMP to help you to heal abdominal separation.
