Diastasis Recti Lauderhill

Seeing a gap or bulge in your abdomen when you move or sit up? You may be dealing with Diastasis Recti—a condition where the abdominal muscles separate, often caused by pregnancy, weight changes, or repeated strain on the core. At Theracave in Lauderhill, we offer specialized physical therapy to help close the gap, rebuild core stability, and support your body’s natural healing—without the need for surgery in most cases.

Diastasis Recti can affect more than your midsection—it can lead to poor posture, back discomfort, and even pelvic floor dysfunction. Though it’s common among postpartum women, it also impacts men and individuals who engage in heavy lifting or intense core exercises. At Theracave, we design personalized, movement-based therapy plans that focus on retraining your core, improving alignment, and helping you feel stronger and more supported in everyday movement.

Q&A

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.

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.

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.

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.
