Welcome to Hello Physio, your trusted source for Health & Medical, Sports Medicine, and Physical Therapy services in Singapore.

Understanding Diastasis Recti

Diastasis Recti is a common condition that many women experience after pregnancy. It occurs when the right and left sides of the rectus abdominis, the muscle that makes up the front wall of the abdomen, separate. This separation leads to a noticeable bulge in the belly area, especially when engaging in certain movements or activities.

How Postnatal Pilates Can Help

Postnatal Pilates is a gentle and effective form of exercise that focuses on strengthening the core muscles, including the abdominal muscles, pelvic floor, and back muscles. By engaging in specific Pilates exercises, women with Diastasis Recti can gradually improve the strength and function of their core muscles, helping to close the gap and reduce the bulge caused by the condition.

The Key Benefits of Postnatal Pilates for Diastasis Recti

  • Core Strengthening: Postnatal Pilates targets the deep core muscles, helping to rebuild strength and stability in the abdominal area.
  • Improved Posture: By focusing on alignment and body awareness, Pilates can help correct postural issues often associated with Diastasis Recti.
  • Pelvic Floor Support: Pilates exercises also benefit the pelvic floor muscles, which play a crucial role in core stability and overall wellness post-pregnancy.
  • Diastasis Recti-Specific Exercises: Trained Pilates instructors can provide specialized exercises tailored to target and address the specific needs of women with Diastasis Recti.
