Diastasis Recti Rehabilitation

Diastasis Recti is a common condition that many women experience during or after pregnancy — a separation of the abdominal muscles that can lead to a visible belly bulge, core weakness, poor posture, lower back pain, and pelvic instability. At Livvstrong Physiotherapy & Wellness Clinic, we offer a specialized Diastasis Recti Rehabilitation program that is safe, effective, and tailored to your unique postpartum body.

Led by Dr. Leena Vatsa, a senior physiotherapist with over 10 years of experience, we understand that every woman’s postpartum recovery is different. Our approach focuses on restoring your core strength, functional stability, and confidence — without harmful or overly aggressive exercises.

We begin with a detailed assessment of your core muscles, breathing pattern, posture, and pelvic alignment. Based on this, we design a personalized exercise program that includes:

  • Deep core activation (transverse abdominis engagement)
  • Breathing retraining and diaphragmatic control
  • Postural correction and spinal alignment
  • Safe strengthening of pelvic floor and hip stabilizers
  • Gradual progression to functional movement and activity

We also educate you on what to avoid — such as crunches, planks, or heavy lifting in early stages — to prevent further separation or injury. The goal is to rebuild a strong, supportive core from the inside out, so you can move confidently through daily activities and return to exercise safely.

At Livvstrong, we treat more than just a muscle gap. We support your whole postpartum journey — physically and emotionally — with care, encouragement, and clinical expertise.

You don’t have to live with weakness or discomfort. With the right guidance, healing is possible — and powerful.
