Diastasis Recti Deerfield Beach
Diastasis Recti Deerfield Beach
Seeing a bulge down the center of your abdomen when you sit up or lift something? This could be a sign of Diastasis Recti—a condition where the abdominal muscles separate due to pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or repeated abdominal stress. At Theracave in Deerfield Beach, we offer targeted physical therapy to help restore core integrity, reduce the separation, and guide you through a safe, effective recovery process.
Diastasis Recti can impact more than just your core—it may affect posture, balance, and even breathing or pelvic function. Though commonly seen in postpartum women, it can also occur in men and athletes who place repeated strain on their abdomen. At Theracave, we create personalized therapy plans that focus on deep core engagement and functional movement, helping you feel stronger, supported, and better aligned—without the need for surgery in most cases.

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.
