What Really Matters About Ab Separation? 16:50

8 weeks ago16:50

16:50

Diastasis recti (ab separation) scares the life out of new moms—and most never get a proper exam. In this raw, research-packed episode, Dr. Natalie Forsell explains: What diastasis recti really is (and how it differs from a hernia). Why your 6-week check rarely covers it—and what a real assessment looks like. The “soda-can” pressure analogy that connects ab separation to leaking, prolapse, and back pain. How to self-measure your gap and decide if you need targeted rehab. Exactly how to breathe, brace, and move so you heal instead of aggravate. A sneak peek into Natalie’s 4-phase Postpartum Recovery Program for moms ready to reclaim their core—and their confidence.
