What is diastasis recti, and what important things do we need to know about it?

Diastasis recti occurs when the two major parallel bands of muscle that meet in the centre of the belly separate due to increased abdominal wall strain during pregnancy. It doesn't hurt, and you might not even realize it's there, but it's crucial to examine since a separation can cause low back pain, pelvic instability, urine incontinence, and decreased abdominal wall functional strength. Specific exercises can be given to assist repair the separation by strengthening your core and regaining control of your abdominal muscles.
