Diastasis Recti Sunrise

Noticing a bulge or gap in your abdomen when you sit up or lift something heavy? You may be experiencing Diastasis Recti—a separation of the abdominal muscles often caused by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or repeated core strain. At Theracave in Sunrise, we offer targeted physical therapy designed to strengthen your core, reduce the separation, and support a smooth, natural recovery without the need for surgery in most cases.

Diastasis Recti can impact more than just how your stomach looks—it can affect posture, balance, and even cause lower back or pelvic discomfort. While it’s most common after childbirth, it can also affect men and anyone who overuses their core muscles. At Theracave, we create customized therapy plans that focus on deep core activation, body alignment, and safe movement to help you heal and feel strong from the inside out.

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.
