Diastasis Recti is a condition in which the rectus abdominis muscles on either side of the midline separate. This condition typically occurs during pregnancy and childbirth, but may also occur in cases of obesity or weak abdominal muscles. Generally, diastasis recti does not cause significant discomfort or pain. However, if the degree of separation is severe, it may affect the stability and function of the abdomen, leading to back pain, pelvic pain, and other issues. With proper care, the rectus abdominis muscles can be brought back together, resulting in a reduction in waist size and improved stability in the abdomen.
