What is Diastasis Recti?
Diastasis recti occurs when the rectus abdominis (six pack) muscles separate down the middle, causing a visible bulge and core weakness. While pregnancy is the most common cause, factors like weight fluctuations, poor movement mechanics, and genetics also play a role. Symptoms of Diastasis Recti: Diastasis recti is NOT the same as a hernia. Unlike a hernia, there's no hole or organ protrusion, just a separation of the muscle. However, if left untreated, it can worsen over time, leading to chronic pain and instability. The good news? With the right pelvic floor physical therapy program, most women see significant improvement, or full closure, of the abdominal gap.

What Our Patients Say
“Sarah at Aylara Pelvic Health was absolutely amazing and incredibly helpful in my postpartum pelvic floor recovery. She made me feel so validated and hopeful. She not only helped treat me, but also educated me. I felt helped for the long term and not just temporarily. She is so personable and knowledgeable. The office is inviting and staff so wonderful.”
“Forgot to review until 8 months postpartum, but I am so thankful for Bree! I wanted to feel confident with my body in preparing for my first birth, and Bree helped me to feel strengthened, educated, and prepared before delivering my baby. Then, once I was ready to start my postpartum recovery and get to the point I could start dancing again, she stepped in again and helped me feel confident in my pelvic floor postpartum. Thanks for everything Bree; my end of season performance went perfectly and I still am feeling confident in my recovery with your help!”
