Diastasis Recti Davie
Noticing a ridge or bulge in your stomach when you move or sit up? You could be dealing with Diastasis Recti—a condition where the abdominal muscles separate, often due to pregnancy, rapid weight changes, or improper lifting techniques. At Theracave in Davie, our physical therapy team offers non-surgical, movement-based treatments to help bring your core back together and restore strength and function.
Diastasis Recti isn’t just about appearance—it can affect your posture, stability, and even cause back or pelvic discomfort. While it’s commonly seen after childbirth, it can affect anyone with repeated abdominal strain. At Theracave, we use customized therapy plans to gently retrain and rebuild your core, helping you regain control, support, and confidence in your body’s movement.

Q&A
What is Diastasis Recti?
Diastasis Recti is a separation of the rectus abdominis muscles, often caused by excessive intra-abdominal pressure. It’s most common after pregnancy but can occur in anyone with weakened or overstretched core muscles.
Can Diastasis Recti heal on its own?
Mild cases may improve naturally, especially postpartum, but many people benefit from guided physical therapy. Specific core-strengthening exercises are needed to help the muscles close the gap safely and effectively.
Is surgery necessary for Diastasis Recti?
Surgery is typically only considered for severe cases that do not respond to therapy. Most people can achieve excellent results through conservative management, including physical therapy and proper exercise techniques.
How does physical therapy help with Diastasis Recti?
Physical therapy focuses on rebuilding deep core strength, improving posture, teaching correct breathing techniques, and avoiding movements that worsen the separation. It offers a safe, non-invasive path to recovery.
