![]() What you are seeing is literally the front abdominal wall and the internal organs that are supposed to be held in by that wall simply hanging out of the body. In addition, when you see a person with diastasis recti, it looks like they have a “gut” or at minimum a bulge. Stress on the nervous system creates pain, debility, and hypertension, among many other things. Stress on the skeletal system puts stress on the nervous system. It therefore also puts stress on the skeletal system because the bones aren’t in their functional alignment. If the core doesn’t function properly it leaves the entire rest of the body’s muscles open to injury, over-exertion, imbalance, pain, and exhaustion. The abdominal core of the human body is responsible for health on multiple levels. Here’s what else very few people tell you: diastasis recti isn’t a cosmetic issue. ![]() They don’t tell you that the majority of diastases that exist past roughly one year postpartum are permanent and not fixable via exercise. They don’t tell you that they’re selling the appearance of a fix. My suspicion was that these people who sell exercise programs know this. A human CAN’T hit the gym that hard every day of their life up to and including when they’re 95. Illnesses, accidents, and life circumstances get in the way. Why does this matter? It matters because people age. What you’ve done is used over-exertion to temporarily mask the lack of function. You could pick up groceries and your kids and do dishes and drive and … you know, everything that requires functional biceps to make happen. If you did that, you could “restore function” to your arm and your bicep by continually having the muscle bulked and constricted and tight, so it mimicked a normal bicep. And the only way to do THAT was to have an aggressive exercise regime and hit the gym every day. And let’s say that the only way you could get it to produce normal function, such as carrying a grocery bag or lifting a cup to drink, was to build it up to the strength and size of a body builder. Let’s say you had a bicep that didn’t function. It does not return everything to its previous form and function. ![]() ![]() Working out the muscles makes the muscles temporarily constrict. Here’s what they’re not telling you (and this is contained in the comments they’re deleting): Diastasis recti is a many times permanent stretching of the transverse abdominals, the linea alba, the rectus abdominus, and the fascia holding everything together. What you CAN’T do is make your muscles permanently go back to the way they were before the separation. What you CAN do with exercise is assist the muscles in being functional again. Every claim you see out there where someone says that they have an exercise program that is better than surgery and they can fix it - that’s false advertising. TL/DR: You cannot “fix” or “heal” every diastasis recti with only exercise. Because literally NO ONE says this (except surgeons, apparently). So since someone at and Julius is deleting my comments exposing the fallacy behind her ad campaign, I’m gonna say it all here. I’m sure the pictures they do have come from their private FB group, but to me it is a red flag that not one person has progress pictures with them tagged in it on Instagram.Īnyway- thanks for sharing your experience with it! Def helped with my curiosity. I do BBG (Kayla Itsines) & being part of that community, I know that thousands of women post progress pictures and tag Kayla in them every day! So I looked at tagged photos of this couples IG and there are NO progress pictures from anyone following their program. I was wondering what the heck I’m doing wrong if I’m hardly seeing a change and these women are losing the body weight of a 5 year old in the same amount of time as me haha.Īnyway so I did some looking around and legit could not find reviews for these guys on google. I found this bc I got an ad for it on my FB today & couldn’t believe people are ‘losing’ over 50 lbs in 8 weeks?! I thought - “there is no way that’s healthy!!!” I’m 8 weeks into changing my own lifestyle and I haven’t seen anything NEARLY as close to 50 lbs lost.
