Key Facts on Diastasis Recti

Introduction to Diastasis Recti

In my years in the aesthetics field, I’ve met many clients dealing with diastasis recti. This condition, where the abdominal muscles separate, is common but not widely understood. People often come to me with questions and concerns. They want to know what it is, why it happens, and what can be done about it. My goal is to shed light on this topic in a way that’s easy to grasp.

Diastasis recti can affect anyone. It’s not just a post-pregnancy issue.

In the article below, I’ll dive deeper into what causes Diastasis Recti, how to spot it, and steps to manage it. My approach is simple and straight to the point. I aim to give you clear, useful information.

Understanding Diastasis Recti

First off, let’s talk about diastasis recti. Picture your abdominal muscles deciding to part ways, leaving a gap between them. This isn’t just about having a gap; it’s about what it means for your body. A weaker core, a shift in posture, and often, a stubborn bulge that just won’t go away. Many clients have opened up to me about their worries, especially how it impacts their look and overall health.

The Healing Timeline for Diastasis Recti


In my time at Wellaholic, I’ve fielded the question many times: “How long does it take to heal from diastasis recti?” Generally, the recovery period is around 8 to 12-week window postpartum. But, it’s important to understand this is not set in stone. Everyone’s body heals differently, and the timeline can vary widely.

Healing from diastasis recti is deeply personal. While the 8 to 12 weeks give us a ballpark, the real journey is about listening to your body. Factors like your lifestyle, how much you exercise, and what you eat all play a role. Embracing patience and recognizing that your body will heal in its own time is key. Healthy living, appropriate workouts, and a balanced diet can all support a smoother recovery.

The fastest way to fix diastasis recti is to work with a physical therapist who specializes in pelvic floor rehabilitation. They can teach you how to do exercises that will help to strengthen your deep abdominal muscles and close the gap between your rectus abdominis muscles. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the diastasis recti. You can also consider using high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HI-EMT) technology to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and improve diastasis recti. 

Studies have shown that WellaMuscle can be an effective treatment for diastasis recti. One study found that WellaMuscle was able to reduce the diastasis recti gap by an average of 50% after 8 treatments. Another study found that WellaMuscle was able to improve the quality of life for women with diastasis recti.

What is the fastest way to fix diastasis recti?

Dealing with diastasis recti, a condition where your abdominal muscles separate, can be challenging. In my experience, a tailored approach yields the best results. Working with a physical therapist who has expertise in pelvic floor rehab is a great start.

They can guide you through exercises aimed at strengthening your core and narrowing the gap between your abdominal muscles. Sometimes, though, exercises alone might not be enough, and surgery could be considered.

At Wellaholic, we’ve seen promising outcomes with the use of WellaMuscle, utilizing HI-EMT technology to target and strengthen the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. It’s quite fascinating. Research backing WellaMuscle has shown significant improvements, with one study noting a 50% reduction in the separation gap after just eight sessions.

Another highlight was the positive impact on women’s quality of life dealing with this issue. It’s these advancements that make my role here so rewarding – being part of a solution that not only enhances physical health but also boosts confidence and well-being.

The Role of Exercise and Nutrition

In my time in the aesthetics field, I’ve seen how crucial exercise and nutrition are for recovery. It’s not about going all out at the gym. Instead, it’s about choosing gentle exercises that help muscles recover and strengthen. And when it comes to eating, the right foods can make a big difference. Foods packed with nutrients that aid in tissue repair should be your go-to.
