Some weeks ago I posted an image of myself on my personal Instagram with a caption about how I was working on fixing my diastasis recti and I was inundated with messages. There were so many questions from ‘what is diastasis recti?’ to ‘how do I know if I have it?’ and ‘what on earth can I do to fix it?’ It seems like quite a slow process to fix the problem but it’s so important to take your time. The exercises involved seem so small but they really do make such a big difference. I got put in touch with Lucy Allen, a Pelvic Health Specialist and Physiotherapist so I could give you the most accurate information possible to help you through pregnancy and postnatal tummy muscle separation.
