You’ve had major abdominal surgery, alongside huge hormonal shifts, sleep deprivation, and the life-changing arrival of your baby.

You may be sore, exhausted, emotional (often like a rollercoaster),

What is Diastasis Recti? Diastasis Recti Abdominis (DRA) is the widening of the space between the two rectus abdominis ("six-pack") muscles caused by stretching and thinning of the connective tissue that joins them together, known as the linea alba.

For many, the abdominal wall regains its strength and functio
