Post-baby Pooch? Tips to Navigating the Most Effective Treatments for Diastasis Rectus Abdominis

I would like to first and foremost clarify that the purpose of this blog is not for aesthetics of the abdomen or to suggest that women's abdomens need to have a certain look. I am using the term "pooch" because this is most commonly how the symptom of diastasis rectus is described by women who have this condition. The purpose of treating the condition of diastasis rectus abdominis is to restore the normal function of the abdominal muscles for stability of the pelvis and spine to prevent pain.
