Exercises suitable for Diastasis Recti aka Abdominal Separation

From our previous post on Diastasis Recti, also known as Abdominal Separation, we like to further look at the type of exercises that are suitable.

We heard a lot of examples that instead of having flatten their tummy after doing crunches and abdominal exercises, the stomach ballooned up. Yes, these are the exercises that are definitely not suitable for just delivered mothers and ladies who have diastasis recti.

Remember, to recap: Avoid exercises that exacerbate diastasis recti after the first trimester and immediately postpartum. This includes sit-ups, crunch movements, oblique twists, and plank-position exercises.

Focus on building the core muscles concentrating on pelvic tilts instead.
