Diastasis Recti Self-Check

About

You may have heard talk about “mommy tummy,” “the pooch,” or “mom belly” when referring to a stubborn bulge or doming in the middle of the abdomen post-baby. What these terms actually describe is the effect of diastasis recti (DRA) or abdominal separation. Watch this video to learn how to safely and accurately self-check for DRA postpartum (wait at least 6 weeks)! Head to the Motion Melissa blog for more info. Please schedule a private session with Melissa at info@motionmelissa.com and/or consult a pelvic floor PT if your results indicate DRA.
