Diastasis Recti Fort Lauderdale
Noticing a ridge or bulge along your abdomen when you move, lift, or sit up? You might be experiencing Diastasis Recti—a separation of the abdominal muscles often caused by pregnancy, weight changes, or repetitive core strain. At Theracave in Fort Lauderdale, we specialize in physical therapy that focuses on rebuilding core strength, reducing the abdominal gap, and promoting safe, natural healing without surgery.
Diastasis Recti affects more than just appearance—it can lead to poor posture, lower back pain, and pelvic floor dysfunction. While it’s common in postpartum women, it can also occur in men and those who regularly engage in intense core workouts. At Theracave, our team provides one-on-one, evidence-based therapy to help realign your core, improve function, and support long-term wellness through guided movement and strength training.

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.
