🤔Does poor posture contribute to Diastasis Recti? YES! 🤗
👉🏼Have you heard about excessive intra abdominal pressure? In short, it's the pressure inside your abdomen and pelvic cavity. When the pressure is high it pushes behind your abdominal mid-line( you can see your diastasis or hernia popping out), it also pushes downwards (increasing the chances of pelvic floor dysfunctions such as prolapse and stress incontinence) and it also pushes upwards (compromising proper breathing because the diaphragm can not move optimally). ✅Strengthening your core is vital to improving your core and pelvic floor function. ⚠️However, even when perfectly performed, these isolated exercises have a limited power action IF you don't adjust your alignment in your everyday activity (standing, picking up toys, carrying your baby, breastfeeding...).
👉🏼Let's address the pressure causing the problem by working on our daily posture. That's something you don't need to find time for, because you can do it all day long 😘
